Former
President Olusegun Obasanjo has said the current Nigerian leader, Muhammadu
Buhari, has not disappointed him since he assumed office in 2015.
Mr. Obasanjo stated
this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria at his hilltop residence
in Abeokuta.
While reflecting on the
Buhari administration since 2015, Mr. Obasanjo said that the president had done
his best to move the country forward.
“Whatever anybody says,
President Buhari has not disappointed me from what I know of him,” he said.
He said the president
had delivered on his core areas of strength and ability, particularly in the
anti-corruption crusade and the war against insurgency.
“In my book, I have
said that Buhari is not strong on the economy and I did not write this to run
him down.
“I also used to think
that he is not strong in the area of foreign affairs, but I have realised that
he has improved very well.
“He has actually done
his best in the areas where we know him to be strong,” he said.
The
former president urged Nigerians not to relent in their support for Mr. Buhari
and not to give up on Nigeria.
