Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday said though
the situation in Nigeria is very bad, it is not irredeemable.
Obasanjo said this after a closed-door meeting with the
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, at the
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The former president said every right-thinking individual
knows that the “Nigeria situation is very bad, but it is not irredeemable.”
The former President expressed concern that the nation is
not where it is supposed to be.
Obasanjo said Secondus had not visited him because of
partisan politics but because he was concerned about the situation of the
nation.
“You have not visited me because of partisan politics, but
you have visited me as a person who is concerned about where Nigeria is and
where Nigeria may be descending into if the right action is not taken.
“And I couldn’t agree with you more, every right-thinking
Nigerian and every lover of Nigeria will agree that Nigeria is not what it
should be today unless there is something else wrong with them.
“The situation is bad, very bad, but the situation is not
irredeemable. That is where the hope lies. The situation is very bad, but it is
not hopelessly irredeemable. Therefore we need all hands on deck. Let’s put
partisan politics apart and think of what we can do to get Nigeria to where it
is supposed to be and move Nigeria forward,” Obasanjo said.
