President OLUSEGUN OBASANJO has again written another letter to President BUHARI, warning that Nigeria is tipping towards a dangerous cliff and only him could forestall such a looming disaster.
He said Nigeria has been consumed by violence and ethnic divisions since BUHARI assumed office four years ago, in a manner not seen for decades.
In the Letter, OBASANJO said the world, especially Western countries, has been warning Nigeria against descending into a state of violence because any outbreak would be difficult to contain.
He therefore warned that for President BUHARI to be able to stop the “smouldering ethnic agitations”, he would have to stop fanning “the embers of hatred, disaffection and violence.”
The former President also called on armed herdsmen to publicly state their grievances in order to form a national discussion around it, rather than waging a violent campaign across the country.
