Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advised politicians not to see politics as a matter of do-or-die affairs.
According to a report by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Obasanjo gave the advice on Saturday in Calabar at the public presentation of a book entitled: “Stepping Forward with Uti J. D. Agba and Mathias Okoi-Uyouyo.
The former president, who was the special guest of honour at the event, said that politicians, who fail in elections can help those who win elections to succeed for the growth of the nation.
“Politics should not be about life or death. Politicians should learn how to thread with caution as 2019 elections draw closer.
“If you cannot be the chief servant, you can be the assistant chief servant. This is because the chief servant cannot do it on his own; he has to work with others,” he said.
Also speaking, Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River State said that politicians, who could not be in power should support those in power to ensure development.
Ayade stressed the need for all politicians to work together irrespective of their political parties, for the development of the people they represent.
