The ex-president said Buhari has divided the nation with his poor understanding of the dynamics of internal politics
Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has savagely attacked President Muhammadu Buhari's performance and asked the incumbent to not seek reelection in 2019 for the good of the country.
The former president made his feelings about Buhari's administration known in a 13-page statement released on Tuesday, January, 23, 2018.
In the statement title, "The Way Out: A Clarion Call for Coalition for Nigeria Movement", Obasanjo pointed at major failings of the Buhari administration, particularly in the area of economy.
He said the president has performed below the expectations of Nigerians and asked him to take a backseat in 2019 and help the nation from the sidelines while someone else takes over.
He said, "He has a role to play on the side line for the good of Nigeria, Africa and humanity and I will see him as a partner in playing such a role nationally and internationally, but not as a horse rider in Nigeria again."
Obasanjo also faulted the president for appearing to show nepotic interest, as well as his administration's knack for not taking responsibility for issues.
He remarked that the president has a poor understanding of the dynamics of internal politics and has divided the nation as a result.
