He was apparently reacting to media reports that he has endorsed presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, former Nigeria's president Olusegun Obasanjo has this to say:"I will not go into argument about that. I did not unendorse him or endorse him as such. A question was asked and I said I will determine, based on the track record of those candidates who are contesting and who ask me for support, and when I do that, based on my own assessment, I will support the candidate that I believe has the best track record. And I am still in the process of that."
But prior to this time, former president Obasanjo in an interview with the Financial Times at a book launch on Monday, argued that he would support the presidential candidate of the APC.
Going by Obasanjo's statement, "The circumstances he (Buhari) will be working under if he wins the elections are different from the one he worked under before, where he was both the executive and the legislature – he knows that. He is smart enough. He is educated enough. He’s experienced enough. Why shouldn’t I support him?"
