According to The Cable, the former President said that Buhari is sick in the spirit, body and soul.

Obasanjo said this while fielding questions during an interview with BBC Yoruba.

According to him, “Buhari is sick in the spirit, body and soul. Let’s beg him to go and rest. He has tried his best. Let give chance to another person.

“When people ask me that what if the next person is not suitable, I tell them that is the beauty of democracy.”

Obasanjo’s open letter

Obasanjo, in his state of the nation address on Sunday, January 20,2019, accused the government of taking Nigeria back to the days of military rule.
