Meets PDP governors
A
meeting between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and five Peoples
Democratic Party(PDP) governors at Obasanjo’s residence, Abeokuta, the Ogun
State capital, has ended with the former President saying Nigeria is in a
“bad situation.”
Obasanjo,
who addressed reporters said the situation of the country is bad, but added
that it is “not irretrievably bad if there the will and courage to do the right
thing at the right time.”
The
former president said he deliberated with the governors on “issues affecting
the country- the security and the economy among others.
He
added that as Nigerians, “we have no other country except Nigeria.”
Obasanjo
said one does not have to be World Bank economist or the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) expert to discern that the nation’s economy is ailing and require the
will and courage by the managers not only to tell the nation the truth, but
also the way out.
The
five governors who met Obasanjo – Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Isa Yuguda
(Bauchi), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Babangida Aliu (Niger) and Godswill Akpabio
(Akwa Ibom).
The
governors were led to the meeting by Akpabio, who is the Chairman of the PDP
Governors’ Forum.
They arrived
Obasanjo’s Presidential Hill-Top Estate by 12:40pm, and met for over
three hours with their host.
