Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu
Buhari has done his best and Nigerians should not expect anything more from
him.
Speaking at an event organised by the Global Peace
Foundation and Vision Africa in Abuja on Monday, Obasanjo said if Nigerians are
expecting anything more from Buhari, they are “whipping a dead horse”.
The former president said Nigerians should be concerned
about making the country a better place after Buhari’s tenure.
“President Buhari has done his best,” he said.
“That is what he can
do. If we are expecting anything more than what he has done or what he is
doing, that means we’re whipping a dead horse and there is no need.
“Then, where do we go from here? We cannot fold our hands. I
believe that is part of what we’re doing here and what we continue to be doing.
How do we prepare for post-Buhari? Buhari has done his best. My prayer is that
God will spare his life to see his term through.
“What should we do to make post-Buhari better than what we
have now? That is our responsibility now, because it concerns all of us.”
The former president said political will should be matched
with “political action” to tackle the country’s security challenges.
“The problem of insurgency will not go away, if all we are
using is the stick,” Obasanjo said.
“We may suppress it, and keep it down a bit, but we have to
use ‘carrot and stick’ together to effectively tackle the problems.”
