Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is optimistic that
nothing would interfere with the successful conduct of the 2023 general
elections scheduled for February 25 and March 11.
Obasanjo’s comment is coming amid fear that the general
elections might be postponed due to the ongoing crisis occasioned by the
scarcity of fuel and new naira notes.
The former President spoke when he played host to the Board
of Trustees (BoT) of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) at his Penthouse
residence located within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library
(OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The ADC national leaders were led by their Chairman, Dr. Mani Ibrahim Ahmed; the National Chairman of the party, Prof. Ralph Nwosu and a former presidential aspirant of the ADC, Chukwuka Monye.
According to Obasanjo, Nigeria is in an interesting period,
urging Nigerians to take the elections with all the seriousness it deserves as
being done in developed nations.
The Balogun Owu charged Nigerians to strive towards giving
their best to ensure the general elections hold.
Stating that the attention of the global community is now
focused on the 2023 polls in Nigeria, he charged Nigerians, as main
stakeholders to contribute towards the success of the elections.
“We are in an interesting period in Nigeria. In less than
three weeks, we will be going to the polls; well, I hope nothing will intervene
against that. In less than three weeks, we will be electing a leader that will
pilot the affairs of Nigeria for the next four years from May.
“I have been in Togo, Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire from the
beginning of the week; and they are as concerned about what happens in Nigeria
as every Nigerian should be.
