2015: Obasanjo Endorses Buhari, Qualifies Him As A Smart, Educated, And Experienced Man

Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has endorsed APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) be become the next president of NIgeria.

Obasanjo noted that, if there is one man who is more than qualified to steer Nigeria out of her deep crisis towards greater strides, that man is Muhammadu Buhari.

Obasanjo said, "It is a question of leadership – political and military. I think you need to ask Jonathan how he let the army go to this extent. Many things went wrong: recruitment went wrong; training went wrong; morale went down; motivation was not there; corruption was deeply ingrained; and welfare was bad."

"The circumstances he (Buhari) will be working under if he wins the elections are different from the one he worked under before, where he was both the executive and the legislature – he knows that. He is smart enough. He is educated enough. He's experienced enough. Why shouldn't I support him?"

Obasanjo, apart from endorsing Buhari, equally warned President Jonathan against resorting to desperation in order to retain the presidency, saying that such desperate act may lead to coup.

"I sincerely hope that the President is not going for broke and saying 'look dammit, it's either I have it or nobody has it'. I hope that we will not have a coup. I hope we can avoid it," he said.

The presidential election holds on the 28th of March, 2015, after INEC had shifted it from February 14, 2015 due to security concerns expressed by the National Security Adviser, Col. Dasuki.
