Obasanjo expects Nigeria’s elections to take place as scheduled despite naira, fuel scarcity

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday expressed hope that this year’s general elections would take as scheduled despite the current situation in the country.

Obasanjo, who spoke when members of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) visited him at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, said the elections are of great importance to the international community, and as such Nigerians cannot take it less seriously.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had fixed February 25 for the presidential and National Assembly elections while the governorship and State House of Assembly polls will take place on March 11.
