We get away with so many stupid things in Nigeria, says Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says God has been so patient with Nigeria.

He spoke Thursday in Abuja at the public presentation of a book titled, ‘The LetterMan: Inside the ‘Secret’ Letters of former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo’, by Premium Times’ Editor-in-Chief, Musikilu Mojeed.

“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.

Obasanjo served as Nigeria’s head of state from 1976 to 1979 and later as its president from 1999 to 2007.
