2023: “Nigeria is at turning point; do not vote emotionally,” Obasanjo

Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president of Nigeria, has cautioned citizens against making election decisions based only on their feelings, stating doing so will be detrimental.

The general elections in 2023, according to Obasanjo, ought to mark a turning point for Nigeria.

When the leadership of the Mzough U Tiv group, the leading sociocultural organization in Tiv territory, Benue State, visited his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Ogun State over the weekend, he revealed this.

In a statement released on Sunday, Obasanjo‘s spokeswoman Kehinde Akinyemi said that Obasanjo had expressed support for a transition in the country’s leadership from the North to the South.

“The elections in 2023 should mark a turning point if Nigeria is prepared to do things correctly. The feeling that will ruin us shouldn’t be pursued, he said.

He also exhorted the Middle-Belt area to keep pushing for a rotating presidency for the nation.
