‘I thought I knew President Buhari’- Obasanjo Finally Speaks On ‘Fake Buhari’ In Aso Rock

Former president Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo has finally reacted to the claims that the current President of Nigeria, President Buhari is a new “Buhari from Sudan”. According to him, he does not agree with the claims.

The ex- president stated this in a virtual interview with academic and historian, Toyin Falola. He said Buhari should start thinking of leaving an enduring legacy as president.

In his words;

“I thought I knew President Buhari because he worked with me. But I used to ask people, is it that I have not read him well or read him adequately or is it that he has changed from the Buhari that I used to know? I am not subscribing to the people who say we have a new Buhari from Sudan and all that nonsense.”

“I know what I believed was his limitations and I have written about it – he wasn’t strong in economics, not all of us are strong in anything but you need to have sufficient knowledge of it for you to direct the affairs. He wasn’t particularly too strong in foreign affairs but I thought he was strong enough in the military.”

“But with what I have seen now, I believe that maybe he will be thinking of a legacy. Maybe he will also learn from what has happened in recent times. If you are the commander-in-chief and banditry is taking place in your backyard, then you have to wake up.”
