Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says history will not forgive former President Olusegun Obasanjo for ceding Bakassi to Cameroon.

He said this while addressing party supporters at the APC’s presidential campaign rally in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, on Wednesday.

According to the former Governor of Edo State, Obasanjo took the action because he wanted to win the Nobel Prize for Peace.

He told the people that they should “never forget Obasanjo because he handed over Nigeria to Cameroon because he wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize".

“Nigeria can never forgive him. History will punish him, if we are too weak to punish him. He separated fathers from mothers, brothers from sisters. The Nobel Peace Prize is not given to traitors," he added.

In his own speech, President Muhammadu Buhari urged the people to vote for him because, according to him, his administration has performed well.

Addressing the supporters, Buhari said: “Those within and outside the country who have honestly assessed our administration can attest to the fact that our administration has done well. We have also improved security in the North-East and the anti-corruption fight is ongoing.

“Our economy has been improving since 2018. The government has helped farmers with soft loans. We are working hard to make the country better.”
