He warned against manipulating his position on the 2019 presidential election to perpetrate or perpetuate Nigeria’s continued destruction. Obasanjo stressed that nobody should fool himself or deceive others about his position that “what we have currently and as the affairs of Nigeria are being run is not the best for Nigeria.” The former president urged Nigerians who are victims of the current situation in the land to stop complaining, but go out to get beneficial change.
“They must know that such change will not come if they remain inactive just complaining and being complacent and they allow themselves to be deceived by sycophants and enemies of Nigeria,” he added. Obasanjo, who had faulted the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari, recently endorsed the ambition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, for 2019. He maintained in his statement titled, “2019 elections and reports of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s neutrality,” that he will remain consistent in speaking out whenever and wherever he sees evil, as he is known to do, no matter whose ox is gored.
The statement read: “While Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is in Cairo to attend the maiden edition of the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF), of which he is Chairman of the Advisory Council, his attention has been drawn to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)with the headline ‘Atiku: Obasanjo shifts political gear to neutral.’
