Former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed optimism that despite the challenges confronting Nigeria, the country will be great again through the efforts of those that would come later. He thinks the leaders on ground now are not the best managers of our resources.
Obasanjo said that Nigeria is never a cursed nation but her problem is bad leaders.
“The first thing God did that surprised us most was that He dropped two big rivers down to confluence Nigeria. He then later use gold, bauxite and so many lime-stone in abundance to beautify everywhere in the country. He then later dropped oil under our soil near the water and later in the water.
“I believe there are good people who will be able to manage it, maybe later. But the earlier we are there, the better and I am sure we will be there. We will be there because God has been kind to us; we only need to be kind to ourselves. God will help us.”The former President said this at the weekend in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital, at a meeting of the special committee on the unity among the four monarchs in Egbaland held at the Government House, Oke Igbein, Abeokuta the Ogun state capital.
