Obasanjo Warns Nigerians Against Handing Power To Hooligans

The former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has warned Nigerians against allowing thieves to get into power as it will be very dangerous for the country.

Obasanjo said this while speaking at the book launch of another former president, Goodluck Jonathan, titled “My Transition Hours”, in Abuja on Tuesday, November 20, 2018.

According to him:

“It unifies rather than divide if democracy is found as an instrument in the hands of democrats. If it is in the hands of those, I call thieves, hooligans in politics, it can be a dangerous weapon.

“So, we must avoid hooligans to have access to this beautiful weapon because they might abuse and misuse it.”
