Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday opened up on the sacrifices he made in his quest to make Nigeria a better country.

Obasanjo said he sacrificed for the nation by fighting, “shedding blood” to defend the country during the civil war and even being sent to jail over a coup allegation he was innocent of.

He said this while hosting former Sokoto State Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa, who is one of the presidential aspirants on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Abeokuta, Ogun state.

The former president, however, assured that he would continue to make sacrifices for the betterment of Nigeria.

He said he had been threatened and intimidated because of his convictions for a better Nigeria, but said “they had all amounted to nothing.”

Obasanjo urged Bafarawa to make Nigeria better if elected President in 2019.

According to Obasanjo, “The situation of Nigeria today is not the one any right-thinking Nigerian should applaud.

“And my own strong belief is that Nigeria deserves better than we have now. And we can get better than what we have.

“And so, you are to see what you can do, that is why you are aspiring to make Nigeria better than what it is today.

“Nobody who loves Nigeria will not want it to be better than it is today. I, definitely, have made personal sacrifices and I will make again.
