Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has given the conditionunder which he would support President Muhammadu Buhari to stand elections again for a second term in office.
Obasanjo said he would only support Buhari for re-election in 2019 after a review of his performance towards the end of his current four-year term.
In an interview with BBC’s Focus on Africa on Friday, Obasanjo also gave an assessment of Buhari’s administration, which is now more than two years old. He declared that he is not disappointed in Buhari’s government.
According to him, the current president has performed well in his areas of strength, which includes fighting corruption and the Boko Haram insurgency.
“President Buhari, I have said, has not disappointed me because the areas which we knew he was strong, he has performed fairly well,” Obasanjo said.
However, the former president admitted that not “everyone will be satisfied” with Buhari’s anti-corruption war.
