Again; Obasanjo Reaches out to President Jonathan.

Olusegun Obasanjo

Former President and the recently turned elder stateman, Olusegun Obasanjo. has, again, criticized the administration of the incumbent and outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan, saying that he has mismanaged Nigeria.

Obasanjo made this remark on Sunday, May 24, 2015, during a meeting with some South-West women leaders delgates when they paid him a visit in his Abeokuta’s home, Ogun State.

“The country had been poorly managed in the last eight years and it would take some time for Buhari’s government to correct the anomalies. But I want to tell him not to be frightened,” he said.

“What I would say is that we should all put our minds at rest. He (Buhari) is someone that will perform but we must exercise patience because what has been destroyed for eight years cannot be undone overnight,” he continued.

“But like the Chinese proverb which says the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step, it is not only the first step (that matters) but the first step in the right direction because if you take a wrong step, you’re not likely to get to the destination,” he added.

The former President and the elder stateman has openly criticised President Goodluck Jonathan in recent times and earlier compared the President’s regime to that of former dictator, Sani Abacha.
