#BreakingNews – Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria’s former president, has
publicly expressed support for the electioneering campaign of Muhammadu
Buhari, a former military ruler and presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking at the launch of My Watch in Nairobi, Kenya on Tuesday,
Obasanjo, who served his two terms as president under the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party(PDP), condemned the postponement of the election.
“The circumstances [Buhari] will be
working under if he wins the election are different from the one he
worked under before, where he was both the executive and the legislature
— he knows that. He’s smart enough. He’s educated enough. He’s
experienced enough. Why shouldn’t I support him?”
It is the first time that the ex-president has publicly spoken of
his support for Buhari. He recently said that he would only speak out on
his leaning after the election has been conducted.
