Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the current mood in the country is that of “bitterness and sadness” following the challenges of insecurity and economic instability.
Speaking at the unveiling of a book authored by Femmy Carrena in his honour and titled “The Man, The General, The President” on Thursday June 3, 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.
He stated that education must be made a priority and 14 million out-of-school children must be returned to school.
