Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that Nigeria will be consumed if the citizens make the wrong choice in the 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo also expressed hope that if the right choice was made in 2023, Nigeria might witness progress.<\/p>\n

He spoke as the special guest of honour at the Wilson Badejo Foundation\u2019s 15th annual lecture, with the theme, \u2018Overcoming the twin challenges of poverty and insecurity in Nigeria\u2019, held in Lagos on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo said, \u201cIt is either we make the right choice in 2023, because if we make the right choice, we will get there.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, if we don\u2019t make the right choice in 2023, things will consume us, and we pray against that one. We must make the right choice in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria isn\u2019t where it is supposed to be today. If anyone says it\u2019s ok where we\u2019re at the moment, then the person\u2019s head needs to be examined.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friend, the late Ahmed Joda, used to tell me that God has given us everything a nation needs and there is no need for prayers because if God has given you everything and you squandered it, then something is wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him that even at that, we still need prayers as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
