Nigeria is currently dripping bitterness, sorrow, Obasanjo laments

Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo has depicted Nigeria as a nation currently dripping bitterness and sadness.

Obasanjo maintained that despite the nation is destined to be a land flowing with milk and honey, bad leadership has made it impossible.

The former President disclosed this on Thursday while receiving a book entitled, ‘The Man, The General and The President,’ authored by Femmy Carrena, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.

Obasanjo stated, “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?”
