by Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has decried what he describes as the level of disunity in the country, stressing that the situation now is worse than what was experienced during the civil war.
He stated this in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital on Thursday in a one-day 2019 annual retreat/conference organised by the Association of Chief Audit Executives of Banks in Nigeria (ACAEBIN).
“When we look at this country today, even during the civil war, we were not as divided as we are today. Today, we are in danger if we don’t take partnership seriously.
“Partnership within our people and partnership within Africa and the rest of the world,” he said.
The former president also called on leaders to take the issue of governance seriously especially considering the nation’s increasing population.
He believes that if governance is effective, illiteracy will be eradicated among citizens which will in turn, lead to human development.
Among other things, Obasanjo called on leaders to provide education for citizens, housing, healthcare and more importantly employment for the people.
