Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday said Nigeria is dripping with bitterness and sadness in the wake of the insecurity and economic challenges facing the country.
This, according to him , is contrary to what God destined the country to be.
He said , God has created Nigeria to be a land flowing with milk and honey.
He spoke in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday at the unveiling of a book authored by Femmy Carrena in his honour and titled “The Man, The General, The President”.
The book was reviewed by emeritus Prof. Michael Abiola Omolewa, a former Chairperson of UNESCO and the review was read at the event by Ndidi Amaka – Okafor.
Obasanjo noted that Nigeria has been destined to lead the black race, but “failure of leadership” has impeded the country from taking its place in the comity of developed nations.
