Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has cautioned that the 2023 general elections may make or mar the country if care is not taken.
Obasanjo stated this when the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Most Reverend Daniel Okoh, visited him at his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Penthouse residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
According to a statement issued by Obasanjo’s Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the former head of state cautioned that politicians are capable of actions that may make or mar the country.
He said, “In the next election if we do not watch it, it may make or break Nigeria. And I pray that it will make Nigeria.

“If you stand on the truth, you stand for justice and equity, it is then that politicians will not be able to mess us around and I will say it with all sense of responsibility now if we do not watch it, the politicians will wreck this country and we will all regret it.
“And where can we look for salvation, that is where you religious leaders have a significant role to play.
“I think it’s the mistake of the past, that we say politics is not for the righteous. Now, if we take the righteous away from politics, and we leave politics to the unrighteous, the unrighteous will smear the righteous with the unrighteousness that they will carry into politics and will have nowhere to go.”
