Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo says Nigerians must make the right choice in the upcoming 2023 general elections.
The former Nigerian president was speaking as a special guest of honour at the Wilson Badejo Foundation’s 15th annual lecture with the theme, ‘Overcoming the twin challenges of poverty and insecurity in Nigeria’ held in Lagos.
He emphasised that making the right choices in the aforementioned elections may lead to the progress of Nigeria and resolve the insecurity at hand currently.
“It is either we make the right choice in 2023 because if we make the right choice, we would get there.
“However, if we do not make the right choice in 2023, things would consume us and we pray against that one. We must make the right choice in 2023,” the former president said.
“My friend, late Ahmed Joda, used to tell me that God has given us everything a nation needs and there’s no need for prayers because if God has given you everything and you squandered it, then something is wrong.
“I told him that even at that, we still need prayers as a nation because what is good needs prayers and on the other side too, we still need more prayers.”
