“God is a Nigerian” | 5 things OBJ said to student leaders yesterday

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, hosted officials of the National Association of Nigerians Students and student union leaders from various institutions on Friday, August 21.

Obasanjo spoke on a wide range of issues, from President Buhari’s administration to the last general elections.

Below are 5 quotes from what Obasano said to the student leaders;

 

1. Obasanjo will work for Buhari’s success

“I will work for the success of this current dispensation; there is no excuse because there is no alternative to democracy.

“The alternative to democracy is worse than dictatorship. I experienced that. Abacha put me in prison and I was about to be killed. If it was under democracy (democratic rule) that would not happen.”

 

 

2. God is a Nigerian

“When one takes a look at everything, the most crucial and vital conclusion is that God loves Nigeria.

“The nation has gone toward the precipice many times and Nigeria did not tumble, this shows God is a Nigerian.

 

 

3. I have nowhere else to go

“Many had thought after the 2015 general elections. Nigeria will be no more. Some had sent their families abroad. Some know the NADECO route. I don’t know the NADECO route.

“I don’t have anywhere to go. But to the surprise of many of them, God did it in a miraculous way. The election took place, though some did not want it to take place. But let us thank God it took place. We must also thank those who conducted the elections.

 

 

4. Having a target is necessary

President Muhammadu Buhari took a right decision by telling the military to quash the Boko Haram insurgents by November.

“It is not good to just leave everything open-ended. It is a strategy in the military to set a target for any operation. This will enable those concerned to work hard.

“Having a target is necessary. Even if that target was not met, the people concerned would have something to work with.”

 

 

5. Thank God for Buhari

“We thank God for peace even after the election. No single individual is a paragon of perfection. There is no Messiah except Jesus Christ. But there are people who still stick out their neck for the good of Nigerians.

“Thank God we have such as a leader now. What we have witnessed in the last two and half months is that our dreams are coming true. We must give unalloyed support to the government.

“Criticisms that are objective and positive are welcome where necessary.”
