Don’t leave politics to evil ones –Obasanjo

From Moshood Adebayo, Abeokuta

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, former president Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday urged Christians to take active interest in the democratic process of the country. Obasanjo spoke during the fifth anniversary thanksgiving service of the Chapel of Christ the Glorious King (CCGK), a religious arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The elder statesman, in his vote of thanks, thanked God for the existence of the chapel which he is the chief promoter, and urged Christians to participate in politics in 2015.

His words: “I want to say here that Christians should participate in politics. We should not leave politics in the hands of the evil ones that cannot offer this country any good.”

Former president of Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC), Revd. S. T. Ola Akande, described Obasanjo as a rare and special gift to Nigeria, adding that his likes were rarely found once in a while and not at all times. According to him, God had been so kind to Obasanjo considering all the travails he had passed through in life, saying all victories granted him were for a purpose. He said: “I have been a spectator of the many ups and downs of life of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo across the years. There is no doubt that I am his elder brother. During our times together, I came to know a miracle about him, and that this is a special man that God has given to our contemporary Nigerian generation.
