Olusegun Obasanjo, former president, has warned against handing over Nigeria’s democracy to “thieves and hooligans”. Osinbajo and Ameachi have visited the ex president in the night after his statement.


Obasanjo said democracy should be in the hands of democrats, noting that thieves and hooligans can use it is a “dangerous weapon” against the state.

“It unifies rather than divide if democracy is found as an instrument in the hands of democrats. If it is in the hands of those, I call thieves, hooligans in politics, it can be a dangerous weapon,” he said.

“So, we must avoid hooligans to have access to this beautiful weapon because they might abuse and misuse it.”

APC seems to use the statement as an advantage to get the side of Obasanjo after he had agreed to endorse Atiku earlier.
