Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo today met with a group called Concerned Citizens of Nigeria at his base in Ogun state.
Obasanjo told the group to calm down thatthere will be no repeat of June 12 1993 crisis in Nigeria after the 2015 Presidential election.
Obasanjo declared that he has confidence in the All Progressives Congress, APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammed Buhari because he was a trained military officer.
The group called on Obasanjo’s intervention on the looming crisis:
“We have come to express our deep concern over series of dangerous political miscalculations currently going on under Jonathan administration.“
We are afraid that crisis is seriously looming and it is like another June 12 crisis is on the way and it may be very tragic for the country.
We want you to as a matter of urgency intervene into the matterbefore it is too late sir,” the group opined.In his response, the ex- President relieved their fears, saying that the 2015 election will never be like the June 1993 election.
“You need not to worry about anything. There can never be any June 12 annulment again. Buhari is not Abiola, he is a trained and highly intelligent soldier.
“Oyegun is not Anenih, Osinbajo is not Kingibe. Jega is not Nwosu, Jonathan is not IBB and this time around, Obasanjo will not support any interim government.“
Obasanjo will rather support a free, fair and credible election.”
