Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has promised to work for the success of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying “Nigeria in the last two and half months under the current dispensation has started witnessing positive changes”.
Obasanjo was speaking on Saturday in Abeokuta while addressing officials of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), who paid him a courtesy visit at his residence.
“We thank God that we have such a leader that is helping us to translate our dreams to reality,” he said, adding: “We must give unalloyed support to him.”
He said he would work for the success of this current dispensation “because there is no alternative to democracy”.

He described Buhari’s decision to give a November deadline to the military to end Boko Haram as “right and timely”.
“Buhari took the right decision by telling the military to end the Boko Haram insurgency by November,” he said.
“It is not good to just leave everything open-ended; it is a strategy in the military to set target for any operation.

“This will enable those concerned to work hard.
“Having a target is necessary. Even if that target is not met, the people concerned will have something to work with.”
Obasanjo said “no system of government “can be compared with democracy”.
