Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has predicted a victory for Buhari at the general elections next month and has insinuated that even Jonathan is aware that his days in office are quite numbered. Obasanjo pointed out that all the attacks being aimed Buhari’s way had to do with the knowledge in Jonathan’s camp that Buhari will win the popular votes come the presidential ballot.

“I see Buhari as the next President and Jonathan is aware of that, and that is the reason they are hitting him everywhere to put confusion in his camp. But a General is always a General… “ Obasanjo was quoted as saying by Greenbreporters.

The former President said the truth of the matter is that Jonathan is aware that Buhari is qualified to contest for the Presidential election but that “some hawks with Jonathan do not want him to contest because they believe that he will win and come for them”.

Obasanjo said the issue of Buhari’s certificate came up before the 2007 general elections and the former military ruler was given a clean bill of health to contest because investigations had proven that it was a non-issue.

“The issue (of Buhari’s certificate) came up in 2007, and we investigated and found out that his WASCE is with the military and that was why he was allowed to contest in 2007. Buhari cannot listen to anyone about his certificates because as a General of the Nigerian Army, he will speak when he chooses, not by Femi FaniKayode and Okupe asking him to”, Obasanjo said.
