Obasanjo Speaks On Threatening To Break Up Nigeria by Yagibaze(m): 1:12pm On Feb 01, 2019


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday dismissed claims that he would fight to divide Nigeria.

He made the remark in response to statement credited to him that if President Muhammadu Buhari rigs the upcoming presidential election, he would divide Nigeria.

Obasanjo said he is a “strong believer in the non-divisibility” of Nigeria because he fought for the unity of Nigeria and “spit part of my blood in the war front.”

A statement signed by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, explained that the former President, while speaking at a book launch in Abuja, said he could understand “the frustration and feeling of despondency by Nigerians who watch seemingly, helplessly as Nigeria is being destructively and divisively administered.”

The statement reads: “I read a couple of days ago in the social media a statement ascribed to me that if Buhari rigs the election, I will fight to divide Nigeria. Those who know me will know that such a statement will never come from me.

“Melancholic despondency is no option for us at any time. I believe Nigerians will fight back not to divide the country but rather to unite it in democracy and good governance and God, the Creator of Nigeria, will be on the side of such valiant Nigerians to get us out as He has got us out in the past.

“I fought for the unity of Nigeria and I spit part of my blood in the war front. I am a strong believer in non-divisibility of Nigeria, as Nigeria divided diminishes each of us who proudly call ourselves Nigerians.”

He said he was optimistic “and full of hope for a continued democratic Nigeria which will surely be attended with good governance leading to a great, happy, equitable, united, prosperous, secure and wholesome nation.”

“I fought for the unity of Nigeria and I spit part of my blood in the war front. I am a strong believer in non-divisibility of Nigeria, as Nigeria divided diminishes each of us who proudly call ourselves Nigerians.”

Buhari also fought for the unity of Nigeria and spit part of his blood in the war front.. Unlike Guyman Atiku who was busy looting anything available while he was in Custom service..

This gorrila and his ipobian pigs should go and take several seats.
If you like, threaten anything because of the failure staring you and your pigs in the face, na for kirikiri you go chaw watery beans.

You will soon know how unimportant you are, very ugly monkey.

“The choice before us is between competence and incompetence, between broken promises and a man ready and equipped for the job,Poverty means integrity to Buhari , meanwhile he is deceiving people with false integrity, while embezzlling moneyOf what use is it voting a nepotist leader who when making appointments to sensitive position he believes that he can only trust his brothers but run to you when he needs votes.
Say no to vote buying
