Olusegun Obasanjo

As Nigerians await the final results of Saturday’s Presidential election, former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday raised the alarm that Nigeria is in danger and may be consumed if President Muhammadu Buhari did not act fast.

Obasanjo advised that Buhari must stop the process of the election and ordered the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu to halt the process of the election.

The former president, who said this in a letter he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, said the process has been compromised by politicians.

He appealed to Buhari to prevail on Yakubu to stop the process and rectify the allegations raised against the electoral process.

The letter titled, “2023 Nigeria Presidential Election: An Appeal for Caution and Rectification”, “Nigerian Brothers and Sisters, greetings to you all. I am constrained to speak at this point”.

“I crave the indulgence of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency General Muhammadu Buhari, to make this statement because I have had the opportunity to keep him aware of what I know is happening and the danger looming ahead”.

“On many occasions in the past, I have not hesitated to point out the lacuna in the action of the President and his government. But as far as the election issues are concerned, the President has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he will want to leave a legacy of free, fair, transparent and credible elections”.
