Nigeria divided, carryout national reconciliation – Obasanjo to Tinubu

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged the President-elect, Bola Tinubu to ensure his administration carry out a national reconciliation.

Obasanjo made the appeal while lamenting that Nigeria is more divided since the conclusion of the general elections.

He said Tinubu’s administration must find ways of healing the wounds caused by the divisions.

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.”
