Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed optimism that Nigeria will overcome its security challenges.
According to Obasanjo, the call for Nigeria’s disintegration may be loud, it would never be heard and would be a thing of the past.
The former president spoke on Wednesday at an event in Ogun State where Governor Dapo Abiodun and his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, also called for peace, unity, and end to violence in the country.
“My two brothers talked about the situation we are in,” he said while referring to the two governors who spoke earlier.
Obasanjo added, “You know, I am an incurable optimist about a number of things, but particularly about Nigeria.”
Speaking in Yoruba language, the elder statesman gave a parable that implied that while the present situation might be tough, the country would surely overcome.
The event was the 108th annual convention of the Nigerian Baptist Convention (NBC) held at the church’s international conference centre along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
