Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday dismissed reports circulating in the media that he and some other persons won the 2015 elections for President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said Nigerians voted for President Buhari, stating that one person cannot make anyone a president.
Obasanjo said this in Jalingo, Taraba State during a courtesy call on Governor Darius Ishaku.
“No single individual or group can claim that glory,” he said.
Obasanjo also spoke about the economic potentials of Taraba state.
He said the Mambila Plateau in Taraba had the potential of becoming the hub of tea production in Africa.
“The Taraba tea factory is a symbol of national greatness. The tea potential of this state can attract global demand and earn the nation foreign exchange,” he said.
Obasanjo noted that the state also has potentials in cattle rearing, poultry, power generation, among others.
“The livestock potential of this state surpasses any kind of cattle rearing known in this country. Likewise in poultry, which of course is in commercial quantity.
“The Mambilla Hydro-Power Project, if completed, has the capacity to generate more than half of our power demand in this country.
“Therefore, Taraba is indeed a blessing to this country,” Obasanjo said.
Obj is now saying the rare truth. Buhari becomes Nigeria’s president by the ballot , not by imposition.
