Obasanjo’s endorsement will convince more Nigerians to vote for me – Buhari

APC presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari has described his endorsement by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo as a boost to his ambition. And that it will convince more Nigerians to vote for him during the presidential election. 

Buhari said this on Wednesday night during an interview with CNN’s Chief International Correspondent, Christine Amanpour.

Recall that Obasanjo had on Tuesday in Nairobi, Kenya during an interview with the Financial Times of London at the launch of his controversial autobiography entitled, ‘My Watch,’ threw his weight behind Buhari’s candidacy.

Asked by Amanpour what he thought of Obasano’s endorsement, Buhari said, “It would certainly bring more supporters to us and more confidence again to us for those who are sitting on the fence.”

This, he said, was “because General Obasanjo is highly respected and as far as the Nigerian nation is concerned, there is no serious issue that can be discussed without people seeking his opinion and listening to it.”
