I don’t think it matters, at least it should not matter that much, what Mr. Obasanjo thinks. Mr. Buhari should compete for re-election if his health allow him.
His health will not allow him to contest in 2019, He is advised in his best interest to go bck to Daura and rest. He is too old to lead this country.
For me the former president is right. and i will again and again support the former president in this matter. Buhari should not contest 2019 election so buhari should please if possible step down even before election. Thanks you
We will review and take appropriate action.
