Jubril Or Buhari: Obasanjo Makes Revelation About Cloned Buhari

Erstwhile President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has spoken on the speculated cloning of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In 2017, there was speculation that the Nigerian president had been cloned because the original leader was dead.

Speaking on Sunday, January 31, Obasanjo described as “nonsense” the growing insinuation that Buhari is dead and the person ruling the country is from Sudan.

The former president said he worked with Buhari and he knows what he “believed was his limitations” which he has addressed in his books and letters.

Recalls that since Buhari returned from the United Kingdom in 2017 after a health scare, a conspiracy theory aimed at misleading Nigerians emerged, claiming the president was a cloned figure.

The misinformation led by the leader of a secessionist group IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, also claimed that Buhari was dead in the UK.

Obasanjo said Buhari is still the same person occupying the Aso Rock villa, though he has some weaknesses like poor knowledge in the economy which often brings his leadership style to question.

“I thought I knew President Buhari because he worked with me. But I used to ask people, is it that I have not read him well or read him adequately or is it that he has changed from the Buhari that I used to know?

“I am not subscribing to the people who say we have a new Buhari from Sudan and all that nonsense.”
