SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, (THEWILL) – Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has asked members of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) to get their permanent voter cards (PVCs) and be ready to rescue the country in 2019.
Obasanjo said this on Saturday while inaugurating the movement in Oyo state saying the head of anyone who wants things to continue this way must be examined.
Obasanjo asked members of CNM to be prepared to handle threats but assured them that he would not abandon them half-way saying he is capable of withstanding any situation.
“If anybody wants this situation to continue, his head must be examined. Those of you who have been victimized by the situation and want the situation to continue can’t be friends of Nigeria,” he said.
“Everybody must be determined to rescue Nigeria, it may not be easy. We have seen in this country, where five political parties endorsed a single person and God was laughing and knew what he would do.
“The God who performed wonders some time ago, will again perform wonders.
“However If we are leaving everything to God, we must do our best. Get your PVCs and encourage others.
“Take note, they will threaten you, but don’t be discouraged. It is only cowards who run away from the war front. Having gone this far, I won’t leave you dry. Get your PVC. I don’t think anybody can threaten me again. Remember I have been to prison for an offence I do not know anything about
“I don’t think at my age, I should continue to complain and not find solution. It came in my statement on the 3rd of January that CNM was made out of the reality of the situation in Nigeria, deep thought and reasonable consideration. CNM is to find solution to the situation we have found ourselves.”
