Former President Olusegun Obasanjo believes that nothing will prevent the proper holding of the 2023 general elections, which are planned for February 25 and March 11.

The former President made the remarks while hosting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Board of Trustees (BoT) at his Penthouse apartment within the grounds of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
