Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed hope that God will not run out of patience with Nigeria because he has allowed its citizens to get away with “stupid things.”
Obasanjo Speaks On Nigeria
The former president spoke on Thursday in Abuja at the public presentation of a book entitled, “The LetterMan: Inside the ‘Secret’ Letters of former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo”, written by Premium Times’ Editor-in-Chief, Musikilu Mojeed.
Obasanjo said Nigeria is blessed with all the resources the country needs to prosper yet unable to harness the opportunities.
He said the country should blame itself for failing to use the resources given to it by God who he believes is in Nigeria.
“Only this morning, I heard something that shocked me; here at our door, Chad. When Idris Dabi was killed or died, some people said he was shot from the back when he was in the war front. We didn’t do anything about that. I believe, to say the least, that it is not good enough.
“Again, I believe that God is in Nigeria, because God loves us so much that we got away so many stupid things. I sincerely hope that God’s patience have no limit of elasticity. Because if it does, there will be a day that God will say look, I have had enough.
“And if God says he has had enough, it doesn’t matter; Musikilu can write 20 books on letter men and letter women, it won’t help us.
“So, I believe that the right lessons must be learned. We have all that we need to have. God gave us all that we need to have. That we are not doing what we need to do, God is not to blame. We should blame ourselves,” the former President said.
KanyiDaily recalls that in 2019, Olusegun Obasanjo also said that the reason why Nigeria is still existing is because “God is a Nigerian.”
