Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday urged Nigerians to make the right choice during the 2023 general elections.

He warned that making the wrong choice in the election may consume the nation.

Obasanjo spoke as the special guest of honour at the Wilson Badejo Foundation’s 15th annual lecture with the theme, ‘Overcoming the twin challenge of poverty and insecurity in Nigeria’ held in Lagos.

The former President expressed the hope that if the right choice was made in 2023, the nation may witness progress.

“It is either we make the right choice in 2023 because if we make the right choice, we would get there.

“However, if we do not make the right choice in 2023, things would consume us and we pray against that one. We must make the right choice in 2023,” Obasanjo said.

He had earlier said that Nigeria has not taken its rightful position because of poverty and insecurity.

He said, “Nigeria is not where it is supposed to be today. If anyone says it is ok where we are at the moment, then the person’s head needs to be examined.

My friend, late Ahmed Joda, used to tell me that God has given us everything a nation needs and there’s no need for prayers because if God has given you everything and you squandered it, then something is wrong.

“I told him that even at that, we still need prayers as a nation because what is good needs prayers and on the other side too, we still need more prayers.”

The guest speaker who is the Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Prof Eghosa Osaghea, in his lecture titled, ‘Overcoming the twin challenge of poverty and insecurity in Nigeria,’ explained that when “one’s country fails the individual, then that individual becomes a failure.”

He said, “Poverty cannot divide us but it binds us what divides us is corruption. If you see street protests across the world, it is the poor who do it.

“Corruption, by whatever means, is what causes division.

“Many people today dig their boreholes for water, employ private security units, etc, yet, these are things that the state should have put in place.

“It is the duty of the state to provide these for the common good of all.”

The youths will save this country come 2023. The youths are wiser now. Just as we dealt with police brutality when it was out of hand, we will decide who our president will be come 2023.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !

We will not japa again.
We will make our country great again.
We will start by choosing the right man for the job.
We will do it for our children.
And for our children's children.
We will have a new start.

Righthussle:
The youths will save this country come 2023.

Which useless youths ?
The ones seriously campaigning for an old man to take over due to tribalism and others ?

We understand your message Our baba OBASANJO.

We have a real chance to vote a credible candidate in 2023. Let's avert the danger.

The former President expressed the hope that if the right choice was made in 2023, the nation may witness progress.

Which one of the candidates currently running is synonymous with progress?

Which candidate brought progress to the people?

How can APC be campaigning to replace APC Nigerians have rejected? NO BE JUJU BE THAT!

Just become OBI-dient and YUS-ful to your life by getting your PVC, vote on election day & also protect your vote from BATS or else A ti Ku o!

Words from a sage.

If we miss Obi in 2023 and the corrupt people win, it will be a total disaster.

But I'm 100% sure that God has not forsaken us. Peter Obi will win and Nigeria will be great again!

Exactly my able former president. Wrong choice like Obi and Atiku will consume Nigeria in 2023.
The right and most reasonable choice is BAT.
May Tinubu be our president come 2023 for a greater and better Nigeria.

Spoken like an elder

We have read Baba Obasanjo's book and we know the enemies of Nigeria who now pretend to be patriotic after wish evil on Nigeria few months ago

Baba Obasanjo's under my watch opened our eyes

.

What an elder sees sitting down, a child can stand on a chair and still not see it… it’s a proverb….

Forget ego, your ego only enriches the corrupt politicians who do not know you personally so what’s the point, silently vote right and be happy you did…

Elections have consequences. You don't vote along tribes and religious line and expect a working country. Vote competent people! Vote Peter Obi for a better Nigeria.





Meanwhile at a good rate sell your Pi to us.

Baba keep your advice.

During the 2015 elections, you tore your PDP membership card and made sure Jonathan lost the election even though sane Nigerians saw Jonathan as a better option than buhari. You contributed a lot in forcing this calamity of President on us.


If you must know, the masses are wiser now and doesn’t need advices from people like you anymore.

Nigerians must get it right this time.

Is he not the brain behind Nigeria problem.

God bless Obasanjo for saying the truth.

The good people of Southsouth and Southwest will vote for OKORO OBI...


We say no to Osun Pablo Escobar...

We say no to bokoharam..

God bless Southsouth and Southwest.
One brothers

Mpa, biko tell them o


Peter Obi is the right choice oooo


Make Una leave politics of bitterness, greed, selfishness and tribalism, let's vote in people we can count on... People that understand what the masses are passing thru... If not eh...

Let them hear. Many of these urchins are blinded by tribal hatred and their love for corruption , that's why they peddle lies about Tinubu achievements and hope to have selective amnesia about his criminality. Atiku is a known criminal as well, however he is better than Tinubu.

Take a look at Peter obi, an incorruptible man, a money manager, a builder, a man of integrity, who has earned even the respect of his enemies. Yet people don't want to follow him boldly. We understand why. It goes beyond tribal or religious bias.

Many today have benefited from Buhari's incompetence, they go to him and get favours because he cannot read , they present Bogus corrupt documents to him and he allows them ste directly from the nation's coffers, they would love a continuation of same. They see a worse Buhari in Tinubu, the north see a yar a dua in Tinubu and have planted their man to revenge on their behalf, while the corrupt are going for a tinubu to continue the massive graft going on in Nigeria.

If you have no other country to call yours, reject PDP and APC. It is your right as a citizen of Nigeria. It is our only hope to start the process of redemption for Nigeria. If we all miss this opportunity, we have placed ourselves on the path of doom.

Alot of obidients are middle class, alot of them have an education, alot of them will have and demonstrate the capacity to leave Nigeria if things go south. We will leave you all here when the tears of sorrow starts. Choose a person of integrity and end impunity in Nigeria.

Be obidient and yusful.

Exactly!


Why we have to VOTE a technocrat who is trusted and tested like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Not someone who would just be speaking grammar that he could not implement in 8 years as a Governor!

“Many people today dig their boreholes for water, employ private security units, etc, yet, these are things that the state should have put in place.

“It is the duty of the state to provide these for the common good of all.”

Baba Obasanjo, you ruled for 8years...you handpicked your successors and cumulatively, your party ruled for 16years...why was the above you mentioned not put in place when you had the chance

God bless Nigeria.

Don't worry. We are getting it right this time.

Peter Obi for President, 2023.
