Obasanjo is Nigeria’s Best President Since 1999 – Moghalu
Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kingsley Moghalu has described Olusegun Obasanjo as the best president Nigeria has had since 1999.
He stated that the former president was successful because “he was focused on Nigeria as his constituency, not his ethnic group.”
He made this statement on his social media page few days after Obasanjo marked his 84th birthday.
Moghalu said,
“OBJ, faults and all, is our best President since 1999. One key reason for his success is that he was focused on Nigeria as his constituency not his ethnic group. All his career was federal/international – nation-building, national security, economy, foreign affairs.
“So he thought like a president of Nigeria, not a provincial politician. Nigeria is a unique place. In advanced democracies, it is often the case that politicians start local and move upward. Because they have a real nation with a unity of purpose and destiny.
“Here, the presidency requires a transcendence of mind and action in order to provide the kind of leadership we need. Strong experience in federal and international institutions provides that necessary perspective for effective leadership of a country like ours.”
that is a lie…. yaradua is the best president so far during democracy era……
If things doesn’t go wrong, you won’t remember him as best ever president Nigeria had
Though, if not for the sake of death, president Musa yaradua would have been my best present but I will picked OBJ
I couldn’t understand what’s really going on at the moment as if president buhari is a novice in governing the nation
All shall be well by God’s grace, this is not the time of choosing best or worst president. We need to rally round him at the moment
