Insecurity has Overpowered Buhari – Obasanjo
By Lawan Bukar Maigana
Former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday lamented that insecurity has escalated across the country and overwhelmed the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Obasanjo made the statement at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State, while receiving Dr. Ogochukwu Williams who is a People Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant.
He said that the attack on the Kaduna-Abuja train has claimed no fewer than seven lives and about 21 persons were confirmed to have been abducted.

He said: “If anybody comes to say I want to see you, I want to talk to you, I will say ‘you’re welcome. This is because I believe very strongly, and I have said it publicly and I will say it again that the situation we are in this country is not a situation where one man will say yes, he has a solution unless we are deceiving ourselves. I believe we need to sit down collectively and look at the situation.
“A situation where you are not safe on the road, you are not safe on the train, you are not safe at the airport, shows a very serious situation.
“I believe that all right-thinking Nigerians must know that we have a situation that has overwhelmed the present administration, but we should not allow that situation to overwhelm Nigeria.”
