Olusegun Obasanjo has continued to criticize the current administration over its lack of sincerity. The former president reiterated that while he is certain that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, is not perfect, he believes that he would be better as president than Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated that Atiku has more political, social and economic knowledge than the current president.
Obasanjo’s most recent criticism was aired when the southwest faction of PDP leaders paid him a visit in his house at Ota area in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
While addressing the delegation which was led by the National Vice Chairman of the party, Dr. Eddy Olafeso, Obasanjo said, “Politically speaking, you can’t be my friend if you don’t buy into the Nigeria’s project. For me, till death, I will continue to push for a better Nigeria. I said if you compare the two of them Atiku and Buhari with what I know and all I have written about the incumbent, which they have decided to cover up, Atiku is better than the incumbent by far.
“That’s the point I am making. And nobody is perfect. I am not a perfect person. I have my shortcomings. If I deny my shortcomings, it means I am not being truthful to myself. But, my shortcomings have nothing to do with my love for Nigeria. It has nothing to do with being greedy or selfishness.”
Remember, Obasanjo only began to show support for Atiku after he (Atiku) visited him and settled the differences they had since they both ended their tenure as president and vice president.
