Why I Helped Goodluck Jonathan Become President in 2011, Obasanjo Reveals

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has explained why he helped Goodluck Jonathan become President of Nigeria in 2011.

Speaking during an interview session Obasanjo said, ''I believe that Nigeria politics will be strengthened even more if we have the opportunity to allow the minority in its own right to emerge as President, and I do not have any apology for anybody because the purpose I wanted Nigeria to achieve had been achieved. That any Nigerian can become president, it is not a regret for Nigeria and for me because Nigeria gave him that opportunity, he used, abused, misused as he wished and at the appropriate time, Nigerians said thank you for what you have done and what you have not done and Nigeria said bye bye, which is the beauty of democracy''.
