Obasanjo Sends Message To Nigerians As Country Drips ‘Bitterness, Sadness’

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday lamented that Nigeria has now become a land dripping bitterness and sadness instead of milk and honey.

He said God destined Nigeria to be a land of peace and prosperity but the opposite were now happening because of bad leadership.

Obasanjo, who said this on Thursday, urged everybody to do their part to return the country to what God destined it to be.

He said this while being presented with a book titled, ‘The Man, The General and The President at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.

The book was authored by Femmy Carrena.

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?”
