2023 ELECTION: "NIGERIA SPLIT, CARRY OUT NATIONAL RECONCILIATION" - OBASANJO TO TINUBU

Olusegun Obasanjo

Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, has encouraged Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, to make sure his administration carries out a national reconciliation.

Obasanjo made the call while bemoaning the fact that Nigeria is now even more polarized than it was before the general elections.

He asserted that Tinubu's administration must work to mend the divisions' wounds.

On Thursday, Obasanjo gave a speech at a national conference with the theme "From Elections to Government and Performance."

Obasanjo claims that: "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."
