Anybody that says where we are at the moment is okay, the person’s head needs to be examined – Obasanjo

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has emphasized on the need to make the right choice of leader come 2023.

He spoke as the special guest of honour at the Wilson Badejo Foundation’s 15th annual lecture, with the theme, ‘Overcoming the twin challenges of poverty and insecurity in Nigeria’, held in Lagos on Wednesday.

Obasanjo said, “It is either we make the right choice in 2023, because if we make the right choice, we will get there.

“However, if we don’t make the right choice in 2023, things will consume us, and we pray against that one. We must make the right choice in 2023.

“Nigeria isn’t where it is supposed to be today. If anyone says it’s ok where we’re at the moment, then the person’s head needs to be examined.

“My friend, the late Ahmed Joda, used to tell me that God has given us everything a nation needs and there is no need for prayers because if God has given you everything and you squandered it, then something is wrong.

“I told him that even at that, we still need prayers as a nation.”
