Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed optimism for Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari, even as he noted that Buhari isn’t well grounded in economics and foreign affairs.
Obasanjo said this while speaking at the 3rd Covenant University International Conference on African Development Issues titled, “Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Development in Africa: Models, Methods and Policies.”
The ex-President said: “PMB served under me and I know him a little bit. He hasn’t deviated from what I knew him for. Actually he is not a perfect man, indeed no leader can be perfect.
“Buhari might not be grounded in both the economy and foreign affairs, he is doing well in fighting Boko Haram and in his anti-corruption crusade. I am very optimistic as far as Nigeria is concerned because we have somebody that will do it well as president.”
We’re not sure the President will welcome this mixed report.
