We must not bungle this year’s elections, the world is watching us – Obasanjo warns

President Olusegun Obasanjo

Former Nigeria President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday warned against bungling this year’s general elections.

According to the ex leader, “the world is watching Nigeria and we could not afford to disappoint them”.

Obasanjo gave this charge at a public enlightenment programme on the electoral process, organised by the Organisation of Tadhamunul Muslimeen and the Ogun State chapter of The Muslim Congress.

The programme held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.

Obasanjo, who was represented by Chief Idowu Akanle, stressed the need for Nigerians to protect the integrity of the country with their votes, “so that we could also be like countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirate where there was order in governance.”

He said, “The elections are crucial and the international community is watching us. We should not disappoint them, by ensuring that the elections are free and fair.
