Former president Olusegun Obasanjo expressed satisfaction over the accreditation process in Abeokuta, the Ogun capital. Obasanjo expressed his view at his Ward 11, Unit 22, Olusomi Compound Polling Centre at Oke – Sokori in Abeokuta where he was accredited for the election. Obasanjo told newsmen after his accreditation that he was impressed with the process and the orderly conduct of the people. “What I have seen here is satisfactory and I have also received similar views expressed by people I have talked to.
“I do hope that the same peaceful situation that obtains here will prevail in other parts of the country. “We must allay the fears of those people who thought there will be violence or disturbance regarding this election. “So I appeal to all Nigerians to maintain the peaceful process that we have had so far,” he said.
Obasanjo urged those who could not obtain their PVCs to be calm, adding that such situation did not confer on them any right to be violent. He advised them to be patient, expressing the hope that this would be redressed before the April 11 elections. Obasanjo, who commended INEC, observed that it was not possible to have a perfect situation.
