Talktokemi was informed that former
President Olusegun Obasanjo has described Nigeria as a land flowing with
bitterness and sadness.
The former president on Thursday said bad leadership has prevented the country from achieving its potential.
He said this
on Thursday while being presented with a book titled, ‘The Man, The General and
The President,’ authored by Femmy Carrena, at the Olusegun Obasanjo
Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, Punch reports.
Obasanjo
said, “My prayer is that all of us will have something to contribute to making
this country what God has created it to be – a land flowing with milk and
honey.
“Right now,
it is a land flowing with bitterness and sadness, that is not what God wants
this country to be.
“We must
change the narrative, we must talk to ourselves in the civilised language.
“There is
nowhere you go in this country that you will not see geniuses in any section of
the country. So, why should we look down on ourselves?”
