Former President Olusegun Obasanjo stated that there is no safe place in Nigeria. He said this while receiving a People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate, Dr. Ugochukwu Williams, at his residence in Ogun State.
Obasanjo noted this while reacting to the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train, which reportedly killed eight people and injured many others.
He said:
“So, if anybody comes to say I want to see you, I want to talk to you, I will say ‘you’re welcome’. This is because I believe very strongly, and I have said it publicly and I will say it again that the situation we are in this country is not a situation where one man will say yes, he has a solution unless we are deceiving ourselves. I believe we need to sit down collectively and look at the situation.
A situation where you are not safe on the road, you are not safe on the train, you are not safe at the airport, shows a very serious situation.
I believe that all right-thinking Nigerians must know that we have a situation that has overwhelmed the present administration, but we should not allow that situation to overwhelm Nigeria.”
