He stated this on Friday while speaking with book writers in Abeokuta, Ogun State, as part of activities marking the popular Ake Festival.
When asked of his view on Jonathan’s administration so far, Obasanjo said:
“His performance is below average. and i will not accept responsibility for his performance."
There is nobody that gets such a position without being helped.”
He said he had only supported the idea of a South-Southerner succeeding Yar’Adua to extend the sense of belonging that the emergence of a Southern President in 1999 represented.
When the former President was also asked on why he preferred Jonathan to the former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, he said, “In my own life, I don’t put all my eggs in one basket.
Duke was young enough to be in the reserve.
“He did not agree with me. Donald Duke is my friend but he needs a little of toning down. He needs to get his feet on the ground.”
