Obasanjo, who addressed
journalists after his accreditation,
lauded Nigerians for their
doggedness and never-say-die
attitude by making the democratic
process to thrive in the country.
The former president, who was
accredited in less than one minute
and voted around 2.26pm, said
Nigerians had done themselves
proud.
He said, “I think Nigerians should
be proud of their performance in
this election. There were
apprehensions and,
understandably so, because of
those who were beating the drums
of war.
“But God took control and people
who expected a big bang did not
even get a whimper. We should all
be proud of ourselves. We have
done it for ourselves; we have
done it for Africa. I believe we are
gradually maturing in our
democratic process.”
