The former President Olusegun Obasanjo, last night said, if the citizens were to be honest with themselves, Nigeria is only complex but NOT DIFFICULT to manage. He said, the solutions to Nigeria’s challenges is in the collective efforts of the citizens.
He said this shortly after he received the presidential aspirant and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who was accompanied by Governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde, former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, and others at his Penthouse residence, located within the premises of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Having commended Governor’s Wike’s courage in the way he pursued his political ambition, Olusegun Obasanjo further said, if Nigerian can imbibe the basic ingredients that will bring unity and inclusiveness, all other things will fall into place to help remove conflict and be able to deal with the issues of insecurity, issues of the economy and the wholesomeness of the society.
He added that “the situation of Nigeria is such that anybody who doesn’t know it, is either not a Nigerian or is not being truthful to himself or herself, as I often said, no one individual can say, yes, I can do it because with the situation in Nigeria today, we need all hands to be on deck to restore Nigeria and that is what Governor Wike is saying to me”.
Reacting to the decision of the PDP for throwing its Presidential ticket open, Wike said, he is ready to go through the primary. He expressed the confidence that he has what it takes to win the PDP primary election and also win at the general elections, pledging to work for the unity, stability and security of the country and the nation at large.
