December 21, (THEWILL) – The founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj ji, has urged Nigerians to think deeply in the next year’s elections and vote a leader, who loves and cares for them.
Maharaj ji, who said this while addressing journalists in Lagos, as part of activities marking his 75th birthday, said Nigerians should vote someone who values human life and capable of putting an end to the problem of insecurity challenges facing the country.
He said the major reason why Nigeria is not advancing is because of bad leadership and that, that has been the major problem of African countries.
“Over the ages, the problem of African countries is clearly identified as lack of good leadership and Nigeria, which happens to be the giant of Africa, is also facing the problem of good leadership.”
Speaking on the chances of the three major contenders for the post of president of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi of Labour party, LP, Maharaj ji said Tinubu stand a better chance compared to other presidential candidates because of his antecedents.
He maintained that the APC candidate is not a religious fanatic, and that he has built bridges across every part of Nigeria.
“Also, he is from the South, and what Nigerians are clamouring for, is that the South must produce the next president”, he said.
On Atiku, he said, his utterances has shown that, he is an ethnic fanatic.
He noted that for him to have told the Northern elders not to vote other tribes but him, that portrays him as an ethnic fanatic.
He explained that going by the political arrangements, it is the turn of the South to produce the next president, but that the inordinate ambition of Atiku has truncated that plan.
Maraj ji said Atiku ought to jettison his presidential ambition in the interest of Nigeria.
“His inordinate ambition has truncated the ongoing political process and arrangement of eight years rule being shared by the North and South over the years. It is an experience which has not only worked so well in the Nigerian political development, but has also helped to hold the diverse people’s of Nigeria together and deepened the love of all for a united Nigeria.”
