Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has said Nigeria won’t move closer to achieving its goals unless its citizens and leaders embrace what he called moral rearmament.
Obasanjo also warned that the country was sitting on a keg of gunpowder that could explode anytime if its leaders failed to take courageous and decisive steps to address its many challenges.
The former President gave this advice when he received six members of the House of Representatives at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.
He described the demands of the #EndBadGovernance protesters as very legitimate, saying the government should meet them and stop acting as if all is well.
Obasanjo said that it would be wrong for those in government to continue enjoying themselves while telling the suffering masses to be patient.
The former President regretted that successive governments had not built on the foundation he laid while he was in power, saying this has caused significant setbacks for the country.
