Nigerian newspaper review for February 14: Fears over Obasanjo's link with foreign poll observers

The main headlines of the mainstream Nigerian newspapers for Thursday, February 14, 2019, are focused on the alleged link between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and foreign poll observers.

Nigerian Newpaper, The Nation, reports that there is anxiety in political circles over the composition of some of the international observer missions deployed in the country for the general elections. The presidential election is slated for Saturday.

The newspapere said the popular thinking is that former President Olusegun Obasanjo may have been influential to the composition and emergence of some of the chairmen of some of the observer groups.

The ex-President, who is backing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, is suspected to have sold an agenda to these observers, based on a perception of what a source described as a “willy-nilly” regime change.
