Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo has called on Nigerians to join hands against insecurity and
insensitivity in the country.
Obasanjo said this at the 80th
anniversary of Ango Abdullahi, former vice-chancellor, Ahmadu Bello University
(ABU).
NAN reports that the ceremony was
organised by the Abdullahi Kwasau Dynasty.
The ex-president said the call
became necessary in view of the incessant insecurity bedeviling the country.
Obasanjo said elderly Nigerians
should not allow things to continue the way they are going, adding that doing
nothing is tantamount to planting the seed of destruction.
“Nobody should feel that he has
the monopoly of violence and if it is violence, when you are pushed to the
wall, well they say a man dies only once,” he said.
“But is it violence that will
make this country what it should be? Is it insecurity? I heard that couples
were preparing themselves for marriage, and they were abducted here in Nigeria.
“For as long as our nation is not
what it should be, then you, our children, the youth and we, your parents, no
matter our ages, have to work together to make our country what it should be.
“Nobody can say yes, it is my
country, I can do whatever I like with it, God will not allow that to happen.”
