Ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo has urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to act now amid violent protests across the country.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Obasanjo said that the president’s action is required because the country is on the edge of a cliff.

He said “We are in a critical moment in this crisis and Mr. President must act now before it is two late. This time demands leadership and mature leadership at such.”

Noting that, “This is yet another moment when our nation is on the edge if a cliff.” 

He said, “Our individual and collective actions now and in the next few days will determine where we will go as a nation. May God help us in taking the right steps in the right direction”.
