Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday dismissed claims that he would fight to divide Nigeria.


He made the remark in response to statement credited to him that if President Muhammadu Buhari rigs the upcoming presidential election, he would divide Nigeria.

Obasanjo said he is a “strong believer in the non-divisbility” of Nigeria because he fought for the unity of Nigeria and “spit part of my blood in the war front.”


A statement signed by Obasanjo’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, explained that the former President, while speaking at a book launch in Abuja, said he could understand “the frustration and feeling of despondency by Nigerians who watch seemingly, helplessly as Nigeria is being destructively and divisively administered.”

The statement reads: “I read a couple of days ago in the social media a statement ascribed to me that if Buhari rigs the election, I will fight to divide Nigeria. Those who know me will know that such a statement will never come from me.

“Melancholic despondency is no option for us at any time. I believe Nigerians will fight back not to divide the country but rather to unite it in democracy and good governance and God, the Creator of Nigeria, will be on the side of such valiant Nigerians to get us out as He has got us out in the past.


“I fought for the unity of Nigeria and I spit part of my blood in the war front. I am a strong believer in non-divisibility of Nigeria, as Nigeria divided diminishes each of us who proudly call ourselves Nigerians.”

He said he was optimistic “and full of hope for a continued democratic Nigeria which will surely be attended with good governance leading to a great, happy, equitable, united, prosperous, secure and wholesome nation.”

Clarification is necessary for the lame Buharian's that take words out of context at all times.

OBJ will actually be the last person that will want this country to break up.

That could have been self destructions.

Let's hope and pray for peaceful, credible, free and fair general elections

Obasanjo knows his onions.

We don't need you to divide the country now, but we need every Nigerian's vote to remove Buhari. That is all for now!
When we get to the bridge of disintegration, we will cross it.

Buhari is a curse! He is fast taking Nigeria to desintegration!

Oga OBJ

Chill relax and watch how buhari will tear your dear country u spill ur blood fighting apart

Buhari is very desperate to the core

Did I say buhari?? Vi meant the cabals

... As for me o, as far as I know, God did not create Nigeria, Lord Lugard did. God created indigenous peoples and nations which Biafra, Oduduwa, Arewa are all representing. Nigeria is a curse from Britain. To worsen it, ALL countries have changed the colonial, slavish names imposed by their colonial Lords and creators, eg, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, Gold coast/Ghana. Nigeria is still foolishly believing that they will suddenly become free from British virus and curse. Anyway, Biafran independence REFERENDUM loading.
