Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has yet again lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari, describing his performance thus far as mediocre to the extent that even morons would attest that he has failed.

This was contained in a statement he released on Wednesday through his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi in which he also denied the reports that he was supporting Buhari’s re-election in 2019.

The statement read in part: “For the records, Obasanjo has not and cannot endorse failure. His position remains as stated in his January 23, 2018 statement on the state of the nation.

“Chief Obasanjo sympathizes with the plight of the campaigners and supporters of Buhari. He doesn’t believe dishing out fake news that can only be believed by imbeciles will turn black into white.

“Nigerians know that Chief Obasanjo has only spoken the truth about widening poverty, alienation and social disunity and near disintegration of the country through Buhari’s incompetence.

“Obasanjo will continue to exercise his right to free speech and no amount of hate speech will assuage Nigerians who are in need of a brand new leadership.

“The mediocre performance of Buhari cannot be described by anybody as ‘superlative,’ even by morons, not the least former President Obasanjo.”
