Obasanjo: Government appointments based on nepotism, mediocrity — not merit | TheCable
January 29, 2023 9:28 PM
While speaking on the subject of unity in Nigeria, Obasanjo expressed concern about the current state of affairs in the country. “As I stated in the letter; ‘If we fall prey again, we will have ourselves to blame and no one can say how many more knocks Nigeria can take before it tips over. To be forewarned is to be fore-armed.’ Of course, I pray that Nigeria will never tip over. We must constantly work at it and pray.“My worry is premised on a number of issues. First, I am concerned that the current state of our nation’s economy has widened the gulf of inequality and left many people in despair.
The former president said the concerns raised about the presidential candidates are real, adding that Nigerians would have themselves to blame if they do nothing about the situation.
