Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo says the government of President Muhammadu Buhari has been overwhelmed by insecurity.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo was reacting to the recent Kaduna train attack wherein eight persons were reported dead and many sustained injuries.<\/p>\n

He spoke while he played host to a People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Dr Ugochukwu Williams, at his Penthouse residence within the premises of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State.<\/p>\n

According to Obasanjo, Nigerians travelling are no longer safe on the road, in the train and at the airport<\/p>\n

He called for concerted efforts to stem the tide of insecurity in Nigeria, regretting that the Buhari administration had been overwhelmed by the situation.<\/p>\n

However, he charged Nigerians not to allow the present situation to overwhelm the country.<\/p>\n

He explained that no individual can claim he has a solution to the challenges facing the nation, saying that that was why he receives anybody who visits him with open arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation we are in this country is not a situation where one man will say yes, he has a solution, unless we are deceiving ourselves. I believe we need to sit down collectively and look at the situation,\u201d the Balogun Owu said.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo described the situation as one \u201cwhere you are not safe on the road, you are not safe in the train, you are not safe at the airport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat shows a very serious situation,\u201d the ex-President lamented.<\/p>\n

He suggested that \u201call right-thinking Nigerians must know that we have a situation that has overwhelmed the present administration,\u201d warning, however, that \u201cwe should not allow that situation to overwhelm Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
