"If you don't like Buhari again, wait until 2019' - Formal president Olusegun Obasanjo Informs Nigerians

Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has urge Nigerians to stop praying for President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.

Obasanjo said they should rather wait for the next coming elections in 2019 to vote him out rather than praying for his death.

This was contained in a press release issued by his media aide on Friday in Abeokuta.

He described those behind the rumour of Buhari’s death as wicked, callous and treacherous.

Obasanjo insunated that all the President needed from Nigerians “are our prayers and best wishes, which will ginger his morale to come back more stronger and better.”

He also said he has been a victim of such rumours when he was president and stated that “no normal human being will wish an elderly person dead irrespective of their differences.

“If you don’t like him, wait for another election, not going about to say he is dead. No matter his health situation, we should pray for him to recover quick and come back more  stronger and better. For anyone wishing him dead, such person or group of persons are callous, wicked and treacherous.

“I was also rumored to have died almost 12 times. I don’t know what they derive from doing so, but, they should seek for forgiveness.

“Even if we know that the President is sick, he is in a better position to know what to say or what to do and not wishing him dead. We should just stop politicizing everything, especially with the elderly in the country.”

The president is on a vacation and he is expected to return to the country Next week.
