President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday appointed former President Olusegun Obasanjo as special envoy to Guinea Bissau. He also expressed deep concern over the unfolding political situation in the country.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, in a statement on Friday said in a demonstration of true African solidarity and brotherhood, Buhari had sent former President Olusegun Obasanjo as his special envoy to mediate and help find a solution to the crisis brewing in the country.
Adesina disclosed that Obasanjo embarked on the first leg of his mission by consulting with the current Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States Authority of Heads of State and Government, President Macky Sall, of Senegal in Dakar on Thursday.
He regretted that while the former president was still consulting with President Sall, President Jose Mario Vaz of Guinea Bissau proceeded to appoint and swear-in a new Prime Minister, Mr. Baciro Dja.
This development, he said, had worsened the political situation in his country.
He therefore quoted Buhari as appealing for calm and restraint in the country.
The statement read in part, “President Buhari appeals for calm and calls on the leadership in Guinea Bissau to exercise utmost restraint and ensure the maintenance of law and order as efforts continue to resolve the current crisis.
“The President particularly urges the leadership in Guinea Bissau, including the military, to ensure respect for constitutional order, sanctity of life and safety of citizens, and avoid taking any further action that can threaten the fragile democratic institutions recently established in the country.”
Punch story.

Shey una see una change! Nonsense!
ReplyDeleteSo where is the change and where is the fight against corruption if Buhari can still work with Obasanjo???
DeleteObasanjo is the foundation of our problems in this country. Why do they keep giving him attention?
Stella I can see that you are so biased against President Buhari. That's your problem sha. We still love and support him.
DeleteThere's nothing wrong with this. After all OBJ will not do the job for the sake of money, I doubt he'll be paid for this. What has been employed is his experience and wisdom to tackle issues, which Buhari understands. If u think Buhari is gullible, then you are on a long thing. At least this will keep baba busy.
DeleteGood for him.
ReplyDeleteA man that cannot put his own family in order should have no business trying to advise anybody on anything.

ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahaha, u wanted change, here it is.
ReplyDeleteWhether we like it or not, whether we accept it or not and whether we know it or not, Obasanjo is one of the most respected Nigerian ex presidents in Africa and worldwide. If u r in doubt, a lil research will clear ur doubt. Obj is a very crafty man who can wriggle his way out of any situation no matter how ddifficult it is.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Stella. I pray for a bigger and better you.
Ada, u know I keep saying this, u have sense. Plenty sef. Leave them to wallow in ignorance. As if it'll change anything.
