President Buhari, listen to Chief Obasanjo

IT may be a bitter pill to swallow, but if I am in a vantage position to offer honest counsel to President Muhammadu Buhari, I will tell him, without mincing words, that he should accept in totality, the 16-page open letter recently penned by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Begrudging the erstwhile leader, who many now see as the conscience of the Nigerian masses, should be the last thing he would contemplate. Chief Obasanjo, in his latest piece, raised some fundamental issues that require a critical analysis and dispassionate mental evaluation. As a matter of fact, this is not the first time the president will receive OBJ’s letter.

Meanwhile, the former president has accused Mr. President of hatching a plot to rig the February 16 poll, alleging that the ruling party is recruiting collation officers who are already awarding election results.

The Ex-Nigerian leader added that the current plan is to drape the pre-determined results with a toga of credibility and also use violence of unimaginable proportion, which will be unleashed in high voting population areas across the country to precipitate re-run elections.

Nigerians owe it a duty to vehemently resist diabolic plots that will make their votes not to count, which may be concocted by desperate politicians either in the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Any form of ‘rigging’ during the forthcoming election, should be greeted with a forceful resistance by the electorate.
