The irrepressible former President Olusegun Obasanjo roared again, this time from far away London, United Kingdom, warning Nigerians not to vote for a mediocre performer as president.
Obasanjo who made this statement at his book launch, My. watch, in London, Thursday said that he said maintains the statement credited to him of his endorsement of APC presidential candidate, Gen Buhari
“What I said and I maintain that and I will say it again and I will do it. When the time comes for me to vote, I will consider the track record of all the candidates that are contesting and I will assess and based on my assessment for who I believe have the best track record to perform the job of the Nigerian president, then he will have my vote and if anybody should know what the job of the Nigerian president requires, I should know.
“And there is no sentiment in the affairs of Nigeria.Nigeria is a population of 180million and you wouldn’t have anybody other than one person or two persons that can run the affairs of Nigeria? What the hell are we talking about? For me there are millions who can run the affairs of Nigeria that are not even coming out.
“So why should you die on behalf of one who is probably performing as a mediocre.
With all due respect. Nigeria, if you love it, you would look for the best for Nigeria and I don’t believe that at this point in time we have the best” he said.
