A former president, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, has said he can sacrifice his life in the interest of Nigeria.
However, he said he would not do the same for any political party.
He said this on Thursday during a visit
to his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta by the presidential candidate of
the National Conscience Party, Dr. Martins Onovo.
He said since he left office his
pre-occupation had been the promotion of the country’s interest, adding
that it would be foolish for anyone to say Nigeria did not belong to
anybody.
He frowned on the situation where everyone would keep quiet and watch things degenerate in the country.
While commending the late legal icon,
Chief Gani Fawehinmi, the founder of the NCP, he said though some people
might not agree with his brand of activism, he was a veritable voice of
conscience.
He advised the party to accept whatever was the outcome of the election,
if the election was free, fair and uninterrupted. He said that people
should not necessarily be in government before they could contribute to
the nation’s development. ...Punch
