Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday debunked newspaper reports quoting him as saying that he and a few others brought President Muhammadu Buhari to power.

He dismissed the reports as baseless, untrue and calculated attempts to smear him.

Obasanjo, who is in Jalingo, Taraba State, said President Buhari was overwhelmingly voted by many Nigerians.

“ No single individual or group can claim that glory,” he said.

During a courtesy visit to Governor Darius Ishaku, Obasanjo spoke about the economic potentials of the state.

He said the Mambila Plateau in Taraba had the potential of becoming the hub of tea production in Africa.

He expressed determination to promote the tea production potential of the state using his connections and experience.

“ The Taraba tea factory is a symbol of national greatness. The tea potential of this state can attract global demand and earn the nation foreign exchange,” he said.

Obasanjo noted that beside tea, the state also had potentials in cattle rearing, poultry, power generation, among others.

“ The livestock potential of this state sures any kind of cattle rearing known in this country.

“ likewise in poultry which of course is in commercial quantity.

“ The Mambilla Hydro-Power Project, if completed, has the capacity to generate more than half of our power demand in this country.

“ Therefore, Taraba is indeed a blessing to this country,” Obasanjo said.

There are over 50,000 hectares of land suitable for tea production on the Mambilla Plateau.

The economy meltdown is indeed a Blessing in disguise! The diversification is the answer, and wouldn't have been possible if the Country is still enjoying the Crude Oil Merry-Merry!

Also, over-reliance on Gas for Power Generation will soon come to an end! Thanks to the NDA, Nigeria Government wouldn't have diversified the source of power generation!

Taraba is indeed a blessing to this country.

You are right, few persons can not bring someone to power in a normal democracy. But in an abnormal democracy like ours, reverse is the case. You can bear witness to that because that was exactly what happened during your tenure as president.

Why is everyone denying buhari now??

A FAILURE is an orphan.

Valid point baba. The power is still with the people. In 2019 the people would speak again.

It's good to make clarification so as not to heat up the polity though. But the more you look, the less you see when it comes to Nigeria politics.

I belong to nobody, i belong to everybody-President Muhammadu Buhari.

OBJ please dont deny the part you played in bring this uneducated tyrant to power
