Buhari fecilitates with Obasanjo at 78, says he is a true statesman

The All Progressives Congress presidential
candidate General, Muhammadu Bahari, has
described former President Olusegun Obasanjo
as a courageous patriot who tells the truth to
power when he is convinced leaders are going
wrong.
In a statement he issued on the occasion of
Obasanjo’s birthday, General Buhari said the
former president is a nationalist whose
commitment to democracy and good
governance are worthy of recognition and
praise.
The APC presidential candidate acknowledged
that although Obasanjo is widely perceived as
controversial, he said such perception should
not overshadow his patriotism and remarkable
courage to speak up when things go wrong in
the county.
According to Buhari, Obasanjo is a true
statesman and nationalist who doesn’t abandon
his country when it needs his voice to jolt the
conscience of leaders to listen to those they
govern.
In his glowing tribute, Buhari said statesmen
are the voices and conscience of their
countries, adding that Obasanjo has not
disappointed him in this regard.
Buhari said General Obasanjo is one of the
most de-tribalised and broadminded leaders
he has ever known.
He said Obasanjo’s name would be cast in
stone as one of those Nigerian leaders that
served their country with passion.
