Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a former Nigerian president, has charged ‘any administration following the current one’ to make sure his administration carries out a national reconciliation.
Obasanjo made the call while bemoaning the fact that Nigeria is now much more polarized than it was before the general elections.
He asserted that the government must work to mend the divided wounds.
Obasanjo spoke at a national seminar titled “From Elections to Governance and Performance” on Thursday.
According to Obasanjo: “Given what we saw during the election, Nigeria is now even more divided and more corroded than we thought.
“This places a deep onus on any administration following the current one, to urgently facilitate the process of national moral rearmament and national reconciliation for the aggrieved and will lead us across Nigeria and to assuage the youth.”
