Ex-Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo sends a note of warning to Nigerians about the upcoming election saying it is crucial and might make or break the country.

He also warned religious leaders across the nation to prevent politicians from wrecking the nation; otherwise, it would lead to national regret.

Obasanjo made the statement during the visit of the new President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Most Reverend Daniel Okoh, to his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Penthouse residence, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The Wednesday statement Wednesday released by OBJ’s Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo begged religious leaders to make politicians more responsible.

“If you stand on the truth, you stand for justice and equity, it is then the politicians will not be able to mess us around,” Obasanjo said, adding that “if we do not watch it, the politicians will wreck this country and we’ll all regret it.”

The former President wondered if there is anywhere else the nation could look for salvation, if not from God through the religious leaders.

Obasanjo, described as a past mistake, especially in Christendom, claims that ‘politics is not for the righteous.

“Now, if we take the righteous away from politics, and we leave politics to the unrighteous, the unrighteous will smear the righteous with the unrighteousness that they will carry into politics,” he said.

Obasanjo said the failure to be careful with the 2023 elections may break Nigeria.

“And in the next election, if we do not watch it, it may make or break Nigeria. And I pray that it will make Nigeria,” Obasanjo was quoted as saying.
