Former President Olusegun Obasanjo urged Nigerians not to
die for a mediocre performer, and said he maintains the statement credited to
him of his endorsement of APC presidential candidate, General Muhammad Buhari. He
made the statement during the launch of his book, ‘My Watch’, in London today.In his own words OBJ said...........
"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
