YOU ARE NOT FIT TO RUN SECOND TERM, OBASANJO WRITES BUHARI
Obasanjo also pointed out three other areas where Buhari was unknown to many people, but was able to showed during his administration, adding that, one is nepotic deployment bordering on clannishness, and inability to bring discipline to bear on errant members of his nepotic.
He also noted the second point which is poor understanding of the dynamics of internal politics, stating that this has led to wittingly or unwittingly making the nation divided and inequality has widened and become more pronounced, which has effect on general security.
The former President, also noted the third weakness of Buhari as passing the bulk by blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for devaluation of the naira by 70% or so and blaming past administrations for it
‘Let nobody deceive us, economy feeds on politics and because our politics is depressing, our economy is even more depressing today. If things were good, President Buhari would not need to come in. He was voted to fix things that were bad and not engage in the blame game’
‘Our constitution is very clear; one of the cardinal responsibilities of the President is the management of the economy of which the value of the naira forms integral part. Kingship and friendship that place responsibility for governance in the hands of the unelected can only be deleterious to good government and to the nation’
Obasanjo also condemned the call by some of Buhari’s political appointees and some Governors, routing for his second term, declaring it was wrong time to have done that, at a period when victims of the Fulani herds men were being buried.
‘It is no credit to the Federal Government that the herdsmen rampage continues with careless abandon and without finding an effective solution to it.

The timing was most unfortunate’, he emphasized
