Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has assured Nigerians of
a better country.
Obasanjo said he could see a new vision and observed Nigerians
having a new understanding of the nation.
The former President said this at 94th birthday of Pa Rueben
Fasoranti, the Afenifere leader held in Akure, Ondo State capital on Friday
where his (Faaorant) autobiography entitled “My Life, My Legacy (Service with
Integrity and Excellence) was also unveiled.
Pa Fasoranti had earlier expressed concern over the state of
the country emphasizing that the issue of insecurity has continued to rear its
ugly head in the country.
But speaking, Obasanjo said, “Baba, I feel your sense of
frustration. That you are saying this is not the Nigeria of my dream, the
Nigeria I laboured for all my life or a seemingly hopeless Nigeria.
“I want to assure you that I have a vision of a new Nigeria.
I see a new understanding among Nigerians. New awareness among Nigerians, new
realization among Nigerians.
“As long as there is
life, there is no end to working for Nigeria. We have nothing else to do except
to follow your examples.
“When the time comes, my prayer is that you will see Nigeria
of your dream that you have laboured for, the Nigeria our founding fathers
wished for.
“Not Nigeria without development and a nation without
security. In your lifetime we will have Nigeria of your dream.”
