Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, says he doesn’t have a lot of close associates and people he can call ‘friends’.
While acknowledging the importance of friendship, Obasanjo proceeded to list the number of friends he has in Nigeria.
The former President stated in a recent interview with Punch, that no human being is an ‘island unto himself’.
Obasanjo said: “Nobody is an island unto himself. What I am is partly my DNA, partly my culture, partly my upbringing, partly my school, partly my church, partly my peers, partly my friends, partly the books I read, partly the profession I chose.”
As for his close friends, Obasanjo listed 8 of them.
“I have a very few of them. My friends in Nigeria include the likes of Akin Mabogunje, Joe Irukwu, Ahmed Joda, Christopher Kolade, Alex Okoro, Adamu Ciroma, Obafemi Olopade, Onaolapo Soleye.”
