Buhari Will Work, But Jonathan Has Done A Lot Of Damage- Obasanjo

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has once
again fired shots at President Jonathan saying
he has mismanaged the country in the last
8years. Obasanjo made this statement when the
Iyalode of Yoruba land, Chief Alaba Lawson, led
a delegation of South-West women leaders on a
visit to his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta.

He
however pleaded with Nigerians not to expect an
instant miracle from Buhari, but there will
definitely be a change at the right time, because
what has been destroyed in the last 8years
cannot be undone overnight. His words after the
cut.

"The country had been poorly managed in the
last eight years and it would take some time for
Buhari's government to correct the anomalies.

But I want to tell him not to be frightened. What I
would say is that we should all put our minds at
rest.

He (Buhari) is someone that will perform
but we must exercise patience because what has
been destroyed for eight years cannot be
undone overnight.

"But like the Chinese proverb which says the
journey of a thousand miles starts with a step, it
is not only the first step (that matters) but the
first step in the right direction because if you
take a wrong step, you're not likely to get to the
destination.

"When I came in 1999, there was no fuel and
power.

The situation was like this and I thought
we have put that one behind us. The man that is
coming on board has a lot of experience in
terms of governance. He is not a novice in
governance having ruled the country as a
military Head of State from 1983 to 1985.

Nigerians need to exercise patience because
what has been destroyed in eight years cannot
be rebuilt in a day," he stated again.
