Former Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that Retired Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari will be the next president of Nigeria.
The former Head of State dismissed rumors that the polls will be annulled like 1993 General election won by Late business mogul, Chief MKO Abiola.
Obasanjo said this yesterday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital when he met a group called, Concerned Citizens of Nigeria.
According to the former Nigerian leader, there will never be a repeat of what happened in the country in 1993 after the Presidential election.
Obasanjo declared that he has confidence in the All Progressives Congress,APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammed Buhari because he was a trained military officer.
The group called on the former President to intervene in the country’s looming political crisis before matters degenerate.
“We have come to express our deep concern over series of dangerous political miscalculations currently going on under Jonathan administration.
“We are afraid that crisis is seriously looming and it is like another June 12 crisis is on the way and it may be very tragic for the country. We want you to as a matter of urgency intervene into the matter before it is too late sir,” the group opined.
In his response,the former President allayed their anxieties, saying that the 2015 election will never be like the June 1993 election.
“You need not to worry about anything. There can never be any June 12 annulment again. Buhari is not Abiola, he is a trained and highly intelligent soldier.
“Oyegun is not Anenih, Osinbajo is not Kingibe. Jega is not Nwosu, Jonathan is not IBB and this time around, Obasanjo will not support any interim government.
“Obasanjo will rather support a free, fair and credible election.”
