The former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has said security challenges have overwhelmed the regime of the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

He made this known at his residence,  in Abeokuta, Ogun State while receiving a Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant, Dr Ugochukwu Williams, and his team.

Obasanjo,while reacting to the recent attacks on the Kaduna-Abuja train with no fewer than seven persons were confirmed dead and 21 passengers missing, said the development has shown that Nigerians are not safe anywhere – in vehicles, on the train or on aircraft.

He said the country is in a very serious situation.

Obasanjo  however cautioned Nigerians to not allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the insecurity challenges.

He said, “So, 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.”
