NAIJ.com brings you top quotes that describe the attitude of the former Nigerian president to other leaders of the nation, both past and present. About Muhammadu Buhari
“I know General Buhari, he served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he hasn’t deviated from it. He was not a perfect man and he would never be a perfect man and no leader would be a perfect human being.
“He is not a hot person when it comes to economy; he is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in the matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”
About Goodluck Jonathan
Chief Obasanjo did not say anything good about the ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, whom he dismissed hideously as tactically incompetent and a cipher who initiated another ‘spate of corruption’ rather than build on what he (Obasanjo) did.
However, since he had said more than enough on GEJ in the past few years, the former president continued with some critical address to the late ex-president Umaru Yar’Adua.
About Umaru Yar’Adua
“If you remember, Yar’Adua (may his soul rest in peace) campaigned on the slogan of continuity. That was the content of his campaign. When he got there, he jettisoned continuity and began discontinuity. After his death, I asked one of his close associates. I said tell me what really happened. He said as soon as we left, some people got hold of him (Yar’Adua) and said ‘look, you will never succeed unless you run down Obasanjo’. He believed that. So, that is what he believed and that is what he did.
“Some of the things that we put in place that would help the country I’ve talked about agriculture, I talked about debt; in fact, if debt relief was possible to be reversed, Yar’Adua would have reversed it.”
