The Best Nigerian President Of All Time by Nditoeka: 4:17pm On Jun 08, 2020 |
When I was doing my Ph.D. research in the US, one of the questions that greeted me often was “Who is the best Nigerian President of all time?” As a historian, I’m always careful about giving direct answers to questions of such great importance. Because apart from misleading people base on sentiment or political affiliation as the case may be, there is also that part of committing a sin against history which is what we (historians) are afraid of most of the time. In my opinion by definition, the Best Nigerian President of all time should be someone who ‘commanded’ the respect of not just Nigerians but the international community during his tenure as the Nigerian President. And in this regard, It is just one man that fits this definition. That man is Olusegun Obasanjo. Obasanjo is the only Nigerian President that has hosted 3 different American President in Nigeria. He hosted Jimmy Carter in 1978, hosted Bill Clinton in 2000, and hosted George Bush in 2003. There is no other Nigerian President living or alive that has hosted any American President in Nigeria. Obasanjo is also the only Nigerian President to host Queen Elizabeth in Nigeria. Queen Elizabeth has visited Nigeria twice, the first was Pre-Independence (1956), the second was in 2003 to attend Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting during Obasanjo’s Presidency. There is no other Nigerian President living or alive that has hosted Queen Elizabeth in Nigeria. https://www.motivation.africa/the-best-nigerian-president-of-all-time.html 2 Likes 1 Share

Nditoeka:OP, your argument is weak! You need to provide more comprehensive basis than the first & only to host. Treat yourself to an improved radio listening experience with Nigeria Radio app! Get it at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getjoydev.nigeriaradio |

Ur basis for "best Nigerian president" is lame. Should "who was hosted" be the basis or "what impacts u made to indigeneous Nigerians"? |

Well, that's your opinion. There's still a serious dearth of quality political leadership in Nigeria. |
