Former
President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that he is “reasonably satisfied” with
the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari since his coming into office on
May 29, 2015.
Mr.
Obasanjo made the disclosure while responding to Premium Times inquiry on why
he visited Mr. Buhari at the presidential Villa last week.
Asked
whether he raised the issue of alleged lopsided appointments with the
president, Mr. Obasanjo said, “I am reasonably satisfied with his performance
so far, and I can’t see any reason that will make me raise any alarm at this
time”.
The
meeting of the two leaders, which held inside the president’s office, lasted
for about an hour. Mr. Obasanjo later declined to speak to journalists at the
State House about his discussion with the president.
The
former president however told Premium Times that he was at the presidential
villa to report to Mr. Buhari the outcome of his trip to Guinea Bissau and to
also discuss “other national issues”.
“He
appointed me as his envoy to Guinea Bissau, so I needed to see him to discuss
the issue of Guinea Bissau and other national matters,” he said.
The
president appointed Mr. Obasanjo to Guinea Bissau to help restore order after
Prime Minister Domingos Pereira and his entire cabinet were sacked by President
Jose Mario Vaz.
