Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has said that Nigerians should also be held responsible if peace eludes the country.
The former President, who believed 2019 would be better, said: “It will indeed be a year of blessings for all and sundry in the country.”
“The situation is getting worrisome by the day. I was in Kaduna State and I thought that the story would be different. The people there said insecurity, kidnapping and killings are happening.
“If peace eludes us, it is not an act of God, but, our making. That is why I am happy that our Bishop, in his sermon, also talked about peace. This is the appropriate time to talk about peace; this is the season of peace.”
“With right statements, right actions, people will be trooping back into the country. We had it before, there is no reason not to have it again.”
The Archbishop of Ogun Province, the African Church, Abeokuta, The Most Revd. S.O.B Ojumu had earlier in his sermon admonished Nigerians to have the spirit of peace, particularly during these festive periods and as the general elections gets closer.
