Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday urged Nigerians to ensure “the unity, development, wholesomeness and progress” of the country.
He said this at the launch of a book- “Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria”, written by a professor of International Studies, John Paden.
Obasanjo said he and the president had been political oppositions and had their differences, but didn’t affect their relationship.
“President Buhari and I have had many encounters, but most of them in parallel. Not too long ago, we had a direct opposition at the ballot box but even then, it did not affect our relationship. And fortunately, we didn’t have to look at each other through the barrels of our guns. I thank God for that,” he said.
Obasanjo while speaking about the book said the book was meant for people who are willing “to know about Nigeria yesterday and today and those who want to know a little bit about, if you like, their present leader.”
