No Alternative To Buhari Now - Obasanjo

Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared that there is no alternative to the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari; hence all hands must be on deck in giving the necessary support to provide the ‘change’ the country desired.

The ex-leader who played host to the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at his residence in Abeokuta, also reflected on the country’s general elections noting that with the successful process, God loves the country.

Obasanjo, who was responding to the concerns of the students, led by the vice president of the union, Comrade Ogunkunade Oluwatoyin, particularly regarding fighting corruption and improvements in the standard of education and the economy, said:

“God forbid that this present democratic dispensation should fail, because we have no other alternative and that is why I said that the present administration should succeed. There is no excuse and that is why I am so concern about the success of this administration. Say whatever you like about me, I pray and I will work for the success of this government.”

I am a victim of military regime, I was put in jail meant to be killed by divine intervention I escaped. If there was democracy there might been fair amount of trial. So I heard you, I note your request and has time goes by when I do have opportunity in the community of leaders where you want me to pass your message, I will deliver your message.”
