Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, said he would use the last drop of his blood to defend the unityand progress of Nigeria.
This came as President Goodluck Jonathan described Obasanjo as “a true nationalist and promoter of national unity.”
Obasanjo spoke during his 76th birthday celebration, at Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta.
The birthday celebration also featured a public presentationof a book titled “Olusegun Obasanjo- the Presidential Legacy-1999-2003.”
Obasanjo said: “Even if it remains the last breadth in me, I will work, preserve and promote the unity and progress of Nigeria, work for Africa development and indeedpromote humanity.
“If you are in public service and you expect commendation of men and women, you may be the most disappointed human being on earth. So, if commendations do come, take it as it comes and accept it and if it does not come, don’t worry.
“Some people had made it a point of duty to run this place (Presidential Library) down even before it started. One day we were here and one man said he wanted to apologise. He said he joined people to condemn the library without even knowing what it is all about. I told him that it does not really matter, since God has not condemned us.”
In his goodwill message, President Jonathan, represented at the celebrationby his Chief of Staff, Mr. Mike Oghiadomhe, said Obasanjo was a true elder statesman and peace loving person.
The President said: “Your success are well placed in the history of our dear country. We celebrate with you as you continue to contribute to the growth and development of Nigeria.
“You demonstrated this when military regimes were still fashionable, you shunned the unusual temptation of regime extension to usher in democracy in 1979.
“You have served Nigeria diligently and with total commitment, when in 1999 after the unfortunate incidences in our country and the opportunity came and you were beckoned upon to serveas elected president.”

Can someone tell this Hypocritical liar that the oil Rich Bakkassi peninsular which he single handedly gave over to cameroun with out a Gun shot was once part of the Republic Nigeria, this is something other head of states tried to avoid during their tenure this Antichrist did during his tenure with glee. The ICJ ruling he cited is something other countries obey only when it suits them.

No, no Aremu, we dont need your blood. Just give us the Life in Prison sentence you owe us---Plus, all the billions of dollars that disappeared under your watch--- and we'll call it "Even".

No need to use your blood to contaminate the land; youve done enough destruction already you ape looking thing.

.

Which unity and progress is he talking about?

Nobody can force unity to exist, he can try with his last blood.

He should start canvassing for Sovereign National Conference, where "Unity" would be discussed and agreed.


.

His blood will be used to appease the gods of the land for his atrocities.Until men like him are ruthless rid of in the society,nigeria will never make sense,because it will always remain the same game of looting,and the ones that loots more are the ones that are "respected" by demoralised nigerian populace.

Obj is nothing but a wayward silver back,he is a subprimate.

Yoruba Coward with his loud mouth and yet he was nervous when Cameroun took over Bakassi . let him continue fooling his followers the same Hypocrite who could not defend him self and his liver less tribe from Abacha's wrath wants to Defend more than 150 million people. who is fooling who . why not rather let your charity start from your home before you extend it to your neighbors
