Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday while speaking at a public enlightenment programme
on the electoral process, organised by the Organisation of Tadhamunul Muslimeen
and the Ogun State chapter of The Muslim Congress, held at the Olusegun
Obasanjo presidential library, said:
“The elections are crucial and the international
community is watching us. We should not disappoint them, by ensuring that
the elections are free and fair.
“This election
is for progress and development of this great country and should be
devoid of sentiments, like religion, ethnic and nepotism.
“This election
should be a unity election for all of us,” he said.
He also noted
that all eyes were on INEC and Police and they have to ensure they
carry out their duties rightly.
“We must not
make the mistake of allowing the international community to make jest of us; as
such, those we want to beg are the Independent National Electoral Commission,
who had just told us here on how the process would go, to assure us that it
shall be well.
“You must be
fully prepared. You must be up and doing. No excuses. You know all the terrain
very well; there should be no delay and late arrival of voting materials.
“Where you are
going to use boat to ferry on the water you know it, where it is going to be bicycle,
you know it. So, there should be no unnecessary delay.
“A situation
where somebody at Eggua will be phoning at 11am that they are still expecting
materials will be unacceptable. A situation where the police will be telling us
no fuel to move will be unacceptable,” Obasanjo s
