News: Buhari is Nigeria’s next president, says Obasanjo

Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has
predicted that Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari will be
elected on 28 March as Nigeria’s new president, to succeed
incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan.
At the same time, he dismissed fears of any election
annulment as it happened in 1993, under the Babangida
administration, when the election of Moshood Kashimawo
Abiola was annulled by the military junta.
Obasanjo spoke in Abeokuta, Ogun state yesterday, when
he met a group that styles itself, Concerned Citizens of
Nigeria.
According to the former Nigerian leader, there will never be
a repeat of what happened in the country in 1993 after the
Presidential election.'
Obasanjo declared that he has confidence in the All
Progressives Congress,APC Presidential candidate, General
Muhammed Buhari because he was a trained military
officer.
The group called on the former President to intervene in the
country’s looming political crisis before matters
degenerate.
“We have come to express our deep concern over series of
dangerous political miscalculations currently going on
under Jonathan administration.
“We are afraid that crisis is seriously looming and it is like
another June 12 crisis is on the way and it may be very
tragic for the country. We want you to as a matter of
urgency intervene into the matter before it is too late sir,”
the group opined.
In his response,the former President allayed their anxieties,
saying that the 2015 election will never be like the June
1993 election.
“You need not to worry about anything. There can never be
any June 12 annulment again. Buhari is not Abiola, he is a
trained and highly intelligent soldier.
“Oyegun is not Anenih, Osinbajo is not Kingibe. Jega is not
Nwosu, Jonathan is not IBB and this time around, Obasanjo
will not support any interim government.
“Obasanjo will rather support a free, fair and credible
election.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
