Labour Party presidential campaign spokesman Kenneth Okonkwo has lauded Obasanjo for following what he described as the right path.
Speaking on at Channel TV, he said as far as am concerned, the country is in a “moral crisis” and persons like the former president must speak up.
“There is the saying that the greatest place in hell will be reserved for those who keep quiet in times of moral crisis. Nigeria is going bad not because of the violence of the bad people but because of the silence of the good ones,” the veteran actor said.
“Obasanjo has refused to keep silent in times of moral crisis. We are in a crisis in this country.”
“Obasanjo has never kept silent in times of moral crisis. He went to jail because of, and he came out and became a president,” he maintained, noting that the endorsement was based on certain qualities listed by the former president.
