“I Have Received Death Threats” – Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that he has received several death threats over his stance against the current government.

In a statement titled, “Points for Concern and Action”, issued on Sunday, the former leader said;

“God
of Nigeria is a living God and a prayer-answering God. Nigerians must
cry out to God to deliver Nigeria. Here again, I have been threatened
with arrest and extermination but I will not succumb to intimidation or
threats. Maybe I should remind those who are using probe as a threat
that I have been probed four times by EFCC, ICPC, House of
Representatives and the Senate and Buhari has access to reports of these
probes. But I have also challenged Buhari and the criminals around him
to set up a probe on the same allegations and I will face such probe in
public.

But I know that these criminals cannot withstand a Police
inquiry let alone clinical probe on the past public offices they held.
My fervent prayer is that President Buhari may live to see the will and
purpose of God for Nigeria. My final appeal to him is to desist from
evil with manipulation and desperation because evil has repercussion
especially as man who should watch and be mindful of his self-acclaimed
and packaged integrity. At the end of the day, those who goad you on
will leave you in the lurch. You will be left alone, Unclad and
unheralded. In defeat, which must be Buhari’s fear leading to
desperation, he and his co-travellers can still maintain modicum of
decency, and exhibit fear of God in their actions.”
