SAN FRANCISCO, February 03, (THEWILL) – Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that those behind the rumored death of President Muhammadu Buhari are wicked, callous and treacherous, stating that If such rumourmongers do not like Buhari, they should simply wait for another election to vent their feeling.
The ex-president, who stated this on Friday in a statement issued by his media aide in Abeokuta, said rather than embarking on such “worrisome” declaration, all that Buhari needs “are our prayers and best wishes, which will ginger his morale to come back more stronger and better”.
Obasanjo recalled that he had also been victim of such rumored death while in office as the President of Nigeria, declaring that, “no normal human being will wish an elderly person dead irrespective of their differences”.
Warning against the politicization of every situation in the country, he said, “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.”
