A former Minister of Defence, retired General Theophilus Danjuma has warned that the nation is in a ‘big hole’, saying if he reveals what is happening in the country, Nigerians will no longer sleep.

Speaking at at the launch of a book by the Nigerian Tribune, entitled, ‘70 Years of Progressive Journalism,’ at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Danjuma stressed the need for everyone to wake up.

According to him, everyone seems to have lost their voice in terms of speaking against “governance collapse.”

“In Yorubaland, everybody seems to have lost their voice, scared. And people appear not to care about what is happening. If I tell you what I know that is happening in Nigeria today, you will no longer sleep.

“So, Chief Ayo Adebanjo’s warning and advice is very timely. If you want details, I will give it to you privately.

“We are in a big hole as nation. And people who put us in this hole have continued today. So, we’ve to wake up. Only we can save ourselves.

“The fifth columnists’ activities going on among your people are not helping matters. May Almighty God continue to bless this country, but only we can save ourselves from ourselves.”
