Presidential Election: ”Report That I Have Fled Nigeria Is Fake News” – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described reports on social
media that he has fled Nigeria ahead of tomorrow February
16th Presidential election, as Fake News.

Reports have been rife on social media that the former president who
is opposed to the re-election of President Buhari, has fled the country.

Speaking to newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun state earlier today, the former
president said he would stay in Nigeria and vote according to his
conscience.

“Why should I travel out of the country before the election? If not
for anything, I believe I should be here to perform my civic
responsibility, which is to vote according to the dictate of my heart
tomorrow and on the second of March. Those who are carrying that type of
rumour or fake news; I leave them in the hands of God.

 I am used to that kind of thing. In Yoruba land, if your head is
hard, you don’t have to worry yourself. Let anybody tell lies against
you, let anybody issue fake news against you, let anybody abuse you, God
will deal with them rightly and appropriately,” he said
