OBASANJO HAS ENDORSED BUHARI - WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has raised the alarm about the
postponement of the general election and has publicly endorsed the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, to unseat President Goodluck Jonathan.

Obasanjo, who had said last week that he would not speak on the
elections until after the polls, broke his vow of silence in Nairobi
Monday, where he launched his 1,500-page autobiography which was
highly critical of Jonathan, whose ascent to the presidency he helped
to engineer, reported the London-based Financial Times newspaper on
Tuesday.
"He's smart enough. He's educated enough. He's experienced enough. Why
shouldn't I support him?"

He expressed the view that Buhari would be well equipped to combat
corruption and restore the fighting spirit to an army that has
struggled in the face of the onslaught by Boko Haram, which has seized
a swath of territory in the North-east.

"The signs are not auspicious" in the wake of the six-week
postponement of the general election, said Obasanjo, who remains an
influential, even contentious figure at home. "I don't know whether a
script is being played."

Coming from a founding member of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), his public endorsement of the main opposition challenger
underscores the extent to which Jonathan has lost backing from
sections of the establishment.

How is it that Obasanjo who was instrumental to Jonathan's ascent from
governor to the presidency, has left his side?
