Vote Right On February 14, Obasanjo Admonishes Nigerians

0

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo refused yesterday to make further comment on the February 14 and 28 general elections, saying he had said enough.

But, he urged Nigerians to go out and vote on that day, and vote right. “I will talk after the elections,” the former president said. The former Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spoke in Abeokuta, the state capital, at a sensitization programme for traditional rulers in Egbaland (Ogun Central) on the opportunities available in waste and how it could be harnessed for wealth creation.

His words: “If anybody is still looking for me to say something now, the person probably has not been around for some time now. “The fault is not in our star, but in ourselves. I have spoken enough. Our efforts start February 14. We should go and vote that day and vote right. I will talk after the elections. “You see the stage at which we are now; I have spoken with my mouth, with my eyes and even with my other body languages. Whomever that still has not understood my language, I am still sorry for such a person. “The matter we have at hand now; God has done His own. It is left for us to do our own. Are we going to say that God has not favoured us enough? Are we lacking in human resources or solid mineral resources? What else do we want?”

He added: “I have said I will not speak again regarding the forthcoming election until it is over. After the election, then we will talk. But as for me, I have spoke with my mouth, eyes, nose and other body languages. It is now left for your understanding. “Whichever one that you do not understand, I will just put it in prayers for you that God Himself may make you understand all that I have said fully. But I will not say more than this; until after the elections.”
