A meeting between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and five Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) governors at Obasanjo’s residence, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, has ended with the former President saying Nigeria is in a “bad situation.”
Obasanjo, who addressed reporters said the situation of the country is bad, but added that it is “not irretrievably bad if there the will and courage to do the right thing at the right time.”
The former president said he deliberated with the governors on “issues affecting the country- the security and the economy among others.
He added that as Nigerians, “we have no other country except Nigeria.”
Obasanjo said one does not have to be World Bank economist or the International Monetary Fund(IMF) expert to discern that the nation’s economy is ailing and require the will and courage by the managers not only to tell the nation the truth, but also the way out.
The five governors who met Obasanjo – Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Babangida Aliu (Niger) and Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom).
The governors were led to the meeting by Akpabio, who is the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
They arrived Obasanjo’s Presidential Hill -Top Estate by 12:40pm, and met for over three hours with their host. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteObasanjo ur funny... have you forgot when you told us that Goodluck Jonathan maybe the last Nigeria president? .....so don't pretend you don't no what is happening. ....tell Nigerians the truth what you saw before making such comments .
ReplyDeleteWhat do u want to be told? No one needs to tell u u ought to see from the way and manner GEJ governs the country he might be the last president. We've never been divided among ourselves this far in the history of the country after independence, clamouring for disintegration had never been this loud or is there something u want to share about OBJ that we don't know?
