I’m “reasonably satisfied” with Buhari so far — Obasanjo
Category: Nigerian National News
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that he is “reasonably
satisfied” with the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari since his
coming into office on May 29, 2015.
Mr. Obasanjo made the disclosure while responding to PREMIUM TIMES
inquiry on why he visited Mr. Buhari at the presidential Villa last
week.
Asked whether he raised the issue of alleged lopsided appointments
with the president, Mr. Obasanjo said, “I am reasonably satisfied with
his performance so far, and I can’t see any reason that will make me
raise any alarm at this time”.
The meeting of the two leaders, which held inside the president’s
office, lasted for about an hour. Mr. Obasanjo later declined to speak
to journalists at the State House about his discussion with the
president.
The former president however told PREMIUM TIMES that he was at the
presidential villa to report to Mr. Buhari the outcome of his trip to
Guinea Bissau and to also discuss “other national issues”.
“He appointed me as his envoy to Guinea Bissau, so I needed to see
him to discuss the issue of Guinea Bissau and other national matters,”
he said.
The president appointed Mr. Obasanjo to Guinea Bissau to help restore
order after Prime Minister Domingos Pereira and his entire cabinet were
sacked by President Jose Mario Vaz.
On the appointments so far made by Mr. Buhari, the former president
simply said, “I made inquiries and he briefed me extensively”.
President Buhari had been accused of appointing more people from a
section of the country, in violation of the constitutionally guaranteed
federal character.
The president has also been criticized for failing to form his cabinet more than three months since coming into office.
President Buhari has said he would make cabinet appointments before end of September.
