Former president is now in Sudan as an AU observer in the country’s presidential poll.
Obasanjo while speaking with Premium Times over Buhari’s victory said he was not ready to “say too much” about the poll but stated that Nigerians have passed a message to the former military ruler by asking for change.
Nigerians have done what needed to be done,” he said.
Obasanjo also called “what has happened” phase 1. He said phase 2 would be how the new administration establishes itself.
“Everybody needs to know that expectations are high,” ex-president said.
It should be noted that former leader wrote letter to Muhammadu Buhari after he was announced the winner of the just concluded presidential election and asked the Ex- General to pay more attention to institutional reforms in Nigeria.
Although, Obasanjo, who recently shred his Peoples Democratic Party Membership Card, has not joined Buhari’s party, the All Progressives Congress, many Nigerians consider he voted for the former head of state in the March 28 presidential poll.
Ex-president was instrumental to the emergence of Goodluck Jonathan as president, but fell out with Jonathan after the president announced his desire to contest for a second term.
Obasanjo systematically claimed that Jonathan promised to stay in power for a single term before handing over to someone from northern Nigeria.
