We Need More Rebels In Nigeria.. Olusegun Obasanjo by oilPUSSY(f): 7:17pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
A former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, said that for Nigeria to move forward, it requires “more rebels” that are bold to speak the truth to the power. Obasanjo said Nigeria needs more rebels who would speak the truth to power not minding whose ox is gored. The former president spoke on Saturday in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, while unveiling the autobiography of the Babanla Adinni of Egbaland, Chief Tayo Sowunmi, titled “Footprints Of A Rebel.” Obasanjo concluded that having rebels remains one of the greatest steps towards rebuilding Nigeria. The autobiography reviewed by Hafsat Abiola Costello, founder of Kudirat Initiative for Democracy, was unveiled as part of the celebration of the 80th birthday of Sowunmi, a former activist and elder statesman. Shortly before the unveiling of the autobiography, Obasanjo submitted that whoever must live life of honesty and integrity has to be a rebel. Obasanjo said “Looking at the title of the book, I ask myself, why would someone call himself a rebel. But it is good. “But the truth is that if you have to leave a life of honesty and integrity, you have to become a rebel. There would be some time you would be asked have to do something, but you would say no, this is not right. And when you say that you will become a rebel. You may even become a persona non grata. “Our country, there is no country that we can call our own except Nigeria. Our country, Nigeria, needs more rebels. Those who would look at things straight in the face and say ‘this is not right, this, I will not be part of, this is not good for Nigeria.” Read Also I didn't have any problem with Obasanjo, says Anyim Obasanjo, Ango Abdullahi meet, strategise for 2023 2023 elections: I'll be close to Obasanjo, says Ango Abdullahi He, however, lauded the octogenarian for living “an exemplary life worthy of emulation by the younger generation.” Earlier in his speech, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, called for inter-generational reintegration between older and younger generations, as part of efforts to rebuild Nigeria. Bakare, who spoke on “Worthy Nation Building Legacies by the older generation of Nigerians, said it was a shame that while younger generations are taking over leadership in other countries, the older generation refuses to leave the stage in Nigeria. According to Bakare, the nation rebuilding development has suffered because of the marginalisation of the youth and the progressives who abandoned politics. He also blamed the nation’s challenges on those he called “moneybags and bullion van politicians.” Bakare called for generational reintegration, beginning from the households, embracing cultural values that foster nation-building as well as mentoring and leadership development for the younger generation. https://punchng.com/nigeria-needs-more-rebels-says-obasanjo/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1645286213 Lalasticlala Lalasticlala Mynd44
