Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has publicly expressed support for the electioneering campaign of Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler and the vice presidential candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC).
Until now, Obasanjo had not specifically endorsed Buhari despite openly criticizing Pres. Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking at the launch of My Watch in Nairobi, Kenya on Tuesday, Obasanjo who served his two terms as President under the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemned the postponement of the election and directly showed support for Gen. Buhari. According to the former president;
"The circumstances (Buhari) will be working under if he wins the election are different from the one he worked under before, where he was both the executive and the legislature- he knows that. He's smart enough. He's educated enough. He's experienced enough. Why shouldn't I support him?"This is the first time the ex president has publicly spoken of his support for Buhari.
