Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has asked Nigerians not to vote for any presidential aspirants for the 2023 general elections “lying” that some persons bought forms for them.
Obasanjo stated this while speaking in Lagos during a colloquium with the theme, “The African Christian Leadership: Radical Transformation in Unsettled Times” to mark the 61st birthday of Pastor Itua Ighodalo, Obasanjo said Nigeria’s problem is entirely about leadership.
Recall that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants like former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar; former Senate President Bukola Saraki; former governor Peter Obi; Governor Aminu Tambuwal, are among those who have said nomination forms were bought for them.
“Today, they are paying N40m. Some of them (aspirants) even said it is some youths who bought it for them. In fact anybody who would come out to tell you such a lie, you shouldn’t vote for him. Which youths gathered N40m? If you want to buy it, buy it and tell us. You don’t need to lie to us.”
