President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday openly threw his weight behind
Nigeria's leading opposition party the All Progressives Congress, APC,
when the top national leaders and governors of the party visited him, in
his residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
APC leader, Bola Tinubu, appealed to Obasanjo to join them in the mission to rescue Nigeria:
"You’ve come out of tribulation and held the highest position in this country. We are here because of your courage. Nobody can say he has information more than you.
You have surmounted a number of crises. Nigeria is divided more than
before; to realise stable Nigeria, we want to encourage you to continue
to speak the truth. We’re resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We
want you as navigator."
