Nigeria former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo has stated that Nigeria is more divided and in disunity when compared
to the time of the civil war.
Obasanjo made this known on
Thursday while speaking at a one-day 2019 annual retreat/conference and general
meeting of members of Association of Chief Audit Executives of Banks in Nigeria
held in Abeokuta.
He said:
“When we look at this
country today, even during the civil war, we were not as divided as we are
today.
“Today, we are in danger if
we don’t take partnership seriously. Partnership within our people and
partnership within Africa and the rest of the world.
While addressing members of
ACAEBIN, Obasanjo said private sector is the life blood of development in every
economy of a country.
He said:
“As chief audit executives,
it is defined by virtue of what you are doing as a profession. If the audit is
awry, banking business will not be right.
“What I want to emphasise
is that, it is a must as Nigerians and as Africans, that we have certain
elements that we have to take very seriously which I put as five Ps.
“The first is politics
which is governance. Unless we get governance right, any other thing we are
trying to do will not be right.
