Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday took another swipe at the Jonathan government, declaring that the country does not deserve to be in its present state. He called on Nigerians to allow sound judgment to prevail as they vote during next month’s general election.
Lamenting that the nation bleeds under the yoke of “crippling poverty, sheer impunity, economic downturn and insecurity,” Obasanjo charged leaders who are elected to make things better for the people but do otherwise to know that they would “give account to God.”
The former president made this known on Monday morning when the Southwest women leaders including the Iyaloja – General of Nigeria, Chief Folashade Tinubu – Ojo, visited him at his Presidential Hilltop Estate, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
His words, “Nigeria does not deserve the situation it found itself. Our nation bleeds in poverty, economic downturn, sheer impunity and insecurity.”
Iyalode of Yorubaland, Chief Alaba Lawson led the visiting women leaders, among who was the National President (Women Wing), Christian Association of Nigeria, to Obasanjo’s Abeokuta Hilltop mansion.
