Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president of Nigeria, claimed that elections there were rigged on Saturday and urged Christians to take an active role in politics to clean it up.

He announced this at The Gospel Faith Mission International’s 67th anniversary celebration and 57th annual conference, both of which were held at Gospel City, Ogunmakin on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.

In his speech on the topic of “The Roles of the Church in Nation Building at a Time Like This,” Obasanjo emphasized the need of the church acting as the world’s salt during times of instability, despair, poverty, and depression.

“Corruption is the cornerstone of elections in Nigeria, and nothing can be good if corruption is the base of it.”

As he reflected on the 1999 elections, he cited the local government election, where PDP was completely rejected, as the two most upsetting and unfortunate incidents he experienced.

We had local government elections in 1999, which were “the two first depressing and awful experiences I experienced.”

They asked me where the money for the police and INEC was a few days before the poll, and I replied, “Money for DSS.

Obasanjo highlighted that he did not make funds accessible because he believed that all government entities ought to have received compensation for carrying out their obligations.

The General-Overseer of GOFAMINT, E. O. Abina, previously recalled meeting Obasanjo while he was the President while he was teaching Sunday School at Aso Rock Chapel. He continued by saying that when they spoke upon his arrival at the convention center, the former President informed him to his surprise that he was still teaching Sunday School.
