Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed that he
would only support President Muhammadu Buhari for re-election in 2019 after a
review of his performance towards the end of his current four-year term.
In an interview with BBC’s Focus on Africa on Friday,
Obasanjo also rated Buhari’s administration, which is now more than two years
old.
He declared that he was not disappointed in Buhari’s
government.
According to him, the current president has performed well
in his areas of strength, which includes fighting corruption and the Boko Haram
insurgency.
“President Buhari, I have said, has not disappointed me
because the areas which we knew he was strong, he has performed fairly well,”
Obasanjo said.
However, Obasanjo admitted that not “everyone will be
satisfied” with Buhari’s anti-corruption war.
