The Deputy National Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Timothy Osadolor, has said that the third-term bid of former President Olusegun Obasanjo would have saved Nigeria.
He argued that Nigeria made a costly mistake by not allowing Obasanjo to have a third term in office, stating that the country’s institutions and governance might have been stronger under his continued leadership.
Osadolor made the remarks on Monday in Abuja, contrasting Obasanjo’s record in office with what he described as the shortcomings of successive governments.
“With the benefit of hindsight, and given the performance of governments that followed, I think Nigeria should apologise to President Obasanjo for denying him a third term.
“Perhaps a third term under him would have stabilised and strengthened our national institutions. We would have had fewer strongmen and stronger institutions,” he said.
