Aftermath Of Elections: Obasanjo Urges National Reconciliation To Heal Nigeria’s Divisions

Posted on April 7, 2023

Nigeria’s Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has called on President-elect Bola Tinubu to prioritize national reconciliation during his administration. 
Obasanjo expressed his concerns over the deepening divisions in Nigeria since the conclusion of the general elections. He urged Tinubu’s administration to find ways to heal the wounds caused by these 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.”
