Atiku Will Perform Better Than Buhari If Given The Chance - Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said his former deputy,ex-Vice-President and Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar will perform far better than the incumbent President if given the opportunity.

He stated further that the present administration led by President Mohammadu Buhari will not only go to jail but will go to hell if their corrupt acts are exposed.

“If you look at our present situation and those who are at the hems of affairs today, I believe and insist that Atiku will do better than them.

“If the deeds of those in government today are exposed, all of them will not only go to jail, they will go to hell. Whoever that God does not expose his sins to the public is the person whose secret is kept.” Obasanjo said.

However, he pointed out that he is not privy to the plans of Atiku if he became Nigeria’s next President but insists that Atiku will do twice better than the present president.

Pointing out his observation,Obasanjo said President Buhari’s performance in the area of the economy was worse than his assessment of his knowledge of the economy in 2015.

Also responding to his negative comments about Atiku, Obasanjo asked why people are not talking about what he said about Buhari.

“Those who talked about what I said about Atiku, what about what I said about Buhari? His performance is even worse than what I thought. I said Buhari did not know anything about economy. Have you not seen it? I said he did not know about diplomatic relations, have you not seen it?

 “Look at what is happening, the person that is leading us says he cannot appoint any other tribes into the posts he considers sensitive because he does not trust them. If he cannot trust my tribe and your tribe what is the benefit? And he still wants my tribe and your tribe to vote for him. He can ask us to vote for him but he cannot trust us to be appointed into sensitive positions. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

"If you don’t trust us, how do you want me to trust you? If you trust me and I misbehave replace me with another person. But if only your maternal and paternal relatives are the only people you can appoint because they are the only people you can trust. In Nigeria, where we have tribes numbering about 500, you now said you could not trust some people except your tribes men, that is not right at all.”Obasanjo added.

 Berating Buhari’s economic policies, Obasanjo lamented that due to the present situation in the country, foreign investors are not coming and without them coming to invest, the country cannot develop.
