2019 is fast approaching , Interestingly we talk
about that just barely 16 months into the first
term of President Buhari . But there is a side
question to whether he will contest again or
lay the foundation for a youthful APC to take
Nigeria further . . .
Dailypost carries a news of Ex President
Obasanjo saying he never said Busari
shouldnot go for 2 nd term . .
Former President , Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
has distanced himself from reports claiming
that he warned President Muhammadu Buhari
against seeking re -election in 2019 .
In the statement issued on Sunday , in
Abeokuta , Ogun State, the former President
disclosed that he had not spoken to Nwokedi
in the last three years, and wondered why any
news would be attributed to him .
According to Obasanjo , “ My belief is that
democracy allowed for anybody including
President Buhari for that matter to contest
any election and it is the prerogative rights of
Nigerians to vote or not to vote for them .
“ I have not communicated with Alex in the
last three years, so how could a story be
credited to me , when I did not authorize such
or communicate with him in the last three
years ? Obasanjo queried.
He further said “ not even me , can advise my
children not to seek for elective post . It is
part of freedom of democracy .
