The All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), praised Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on his
78th.
It is evident that Chief
Obasanjo will be receiving a lot of congratulatory messages on his 78th
birthday which he celebrates today, March 5, 2015. One of them has already come
from the former military Head of State.
It should be noted that after OBJ
had dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), it was on numerous occasions
alleged that he endorsed the APC candidate.
Although seems that directly, it was
not the case, but Obasanjo has been referring to Buhari as a man capable of
ruling the country.
Speaking recently in Abeokuta, Ogun State,
Obasanjo was said to have predicted that Buhari would win March 28 elections.
Today General Buhari has something
to say about the renowned politician. According to GMB, Obasanjo is a corageous
patriot who is not afraid of telling the truth
He made this known in a statement issued
specially for the occasion.
Buhari also characterized Obasanjo
as a nationalist whose commitment to democracy and good governance are
worthy of praise.
Although the birthday man is
often described as a controversial politician, his patriotism is truly
remarkable, Buhari added.
The APC candidate insisted that
Nigeria’s former leader is always there for his country, to jolt the
conscience of leaders to listen to those they govern.
Moreover GMB commended Chief
Obasanjo over his spectacular broadminded approach and passion with which he
served the country.
Interestingly, the birthday man
prepared for the big day in quite an unusual manner. March 4 he played football
with some of his colleagues. Obasanjo was wearing a T-shirt with number 78
on the back, his age.
