OBJ to Followers: Be Battle Ready to Sack Buhari from Aso Rock in 2019 | CNR
Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has called on members of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNM to be battle ready to sack President Mohammadu Buhari and take over power in 2019.
The former President stressed that they should propagate the need for all qualified electorates to obtain their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) ahead of the poll.
He gave the charge this at the inauguration of the Oyo State Chapter of the movement, held at Trans Amusement Park, Ibadan, stressing that the members should have it in their hearts that in the struggle to redeem Nigeria, they would be exposed to dangers.
"Everybody must be determined to rescue Nigeria, it may not be easy, however, the God who performed wonders sometime ago, will again perform wonders. We have (seen), in this country, where five political parties endorsed a single person and God was laughing and knew what he would do. If we are leaving everything to God, we must do our best. Get your PVCs and encourage others".

He stressed that in view of this, members of the Coalition should be focused and determined, adding that only cowards run away from the war front. He however, assured them that as the founder of the movement, he would not neglect them when he is needed.
"Take note, they will threaten you, but don’t be discouraged. It is only cowards who run away from the war front. Having gone this far, I won’t leave you dry. Get your PVC. I don’t think anybody can threaten me again. Remember I have been to prison for an offence I do not know anything about,” Mr Obasanjo noted.
Obasanjo, who is the founder of the movement reiterated that the group was established to rescue Nigeria from its present worrisome condition after deep thought and reasonable consultation.

While insisting that President Muhammad Buhari and his APC has failed, the former Nigerian leader said neither the APC nor PDP is an option for the country.
“I don’t think at my age, I should continue to complain and not find solution. It came in my statement on the 3rd of January that CNM was made out of the reality of the situation in Nigeria, deep thought and reasonable consideration. CNM is to find solution to the situation we have found ourselves.”
"If anybody wants this situation to continue, his head must be examined. Those of you who have been victimized by the situation and want the situation to continue can’t be friends of Nigeria.”
In his welcome speech, the state coordinator of the movement, Olayiwola Olakojo, noted that Mr Obasanjo is a force to be reckoned with in all ramifications, one who loves democracy and Nigeria as a nation, with his heart.
