In his time, there was very clear and actioned agricultural policy, development of the telecom sector, debt cleared, foreign reserve going up, federal character compliance, bold moves to reduce corrupt practices by arresting and prosecuting high profile people, including IG Balogun. Western hegemonic institutions didn't have their way in Nigeria. Maybe you could mention his omissions and oversteps, but his time brought better experience and hope to Nigerians

Was that not a long enough time frame with which an ostensible Stateman like Obasanjo should have been able to address the fundamental geo - political and economic faultlines that have afflicted, and are continually crippling Nigeria?

      Obasanjo created this situation when he held out Buhari as the answer to the problems of Nigeria. It was the same Obasanjo who disassociated his military government from that of Buhari when the latter said that his junta was a continuation of the former. After having witnessed the harm that Buhari did as a military head of state it was inconceivable that he held up the same man as the much wanted messiah.

    But we must ask ourselves what program did former President Obasanjo laid out targeting youth empowerment in his eleven+ years as our Head of state and president. Things may be tough now, but the youth will benefit more with the empowerment embarked on by this administration. Our governors are our problem, with more money allocated to them from subsidy removal, they are better placed to implement programs that brings relieve to their people. We should ask the governors what they are doing with their state allocation.

    This is a thief! Tell your children. The next generation should know the truth.
    This is a diplomat, pretender, cunning.
    History subject is no more in the Nigeria curriculum, because of people like this.
    There names must go down as thieves in the Nigeria history.
    Tell your children.
