OMG! Obasanjo Orchestrates Plot To Kill Nnamdi Kanu, Warns That Failure Could Lead To Another Civil War!

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has warned that Nigerians must do everything possible to stop the agitation for Biafra led by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Speaking at the launch of the biography of late Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari on Tuesday, Obasanjo warned that failure to do so could lead to a repeat of the 1966 coup and the events that led to unprecedented bloodshed in the country.

The former president said the top most lessons for Nigerians to learn from unfolding events in the country are that the nation has had enough of tragedies. “So far, since 1999, it seems that we have got it right. Let us hope that we continue to get it right and learn that Nigeria has had enough of bloodshed, enough of sacrifices by those victims, that Nigeria deserves peace, unity, and progress,” he stated.

Obasanjo also called for the removal of soldiers who have the backing of political office holders from the army in order to prevent the occurrence of another civil war. The former president said Nigeria has had enough of bloodshed and sacrifice and called for peace in the country.

He noted that the presence of soldiers who had the backing of political office holders threatened the order in the military insisting that it has led to the killing of soldiers that would have been useful to the country. “Maimalari was a man who was very interested in the welfare of his men during a peacekeeping mission in Congo, a situation that led to him having issues with some few. He was a soldier’s soldier.

”If Maimalari had lived to head the Nigerian Army, to the best of my own knowledge, Nigeria would have been better for it. “Lesson to be learnt from Maimalari’s death- this country had trained officers who would have been of benefit to this country, but cut out at the prime of their lives, and our lesson should be that this should never happen again.

“To stop the sort of thing that took the life of Maimalari prematurely, all those assisted by political office holders should be eased out of Army so we can have an Army that will be completely free from political aberration.

“And since 1999, I think we have got it right, let us hope that we have got it right and learn the right lessons. Nigeria has had enough bloodshed, sacrifices, and Nigeria deserves peace, unity, and progress.

“And may be the sacrifices of the like of Brigadier General Maimalari be sufficient to give this country peace, development, unity, and progress,” Obasanjo said
