Obasanjo in response to questions by journalists in Umuahia on the public statement only said ‘all is well,’ as he declined to questions with a wave of hands.
In the public statement released on Tuesday, January 23 and titled, ‘The Way Out: A Clarion Call For Coalition For Nigerian Movement’ the former President raised concerns about various national issues ranging from the economy, security and political state of the nation.
