Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described Nigeria as a country presently dripping in bitterness and sadness.<\/p>\n
The former president argued that even though the country is destined to be a land flowing with milk and honey, bad leadership has made it unachievable.<\/p>\n
He said this on Thursday while getting presented with a book titled, \u2018The Man, The General and The President,\u2019 authored by Femmy Carrena, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.<\/p>\n
Obasanjo said, \u201cMy prayer is that all of us will have something to contribute to making this country what God has created it to be \u2013 a land flowing with milk and honey.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, it is a land flowing with bitterness and sadness, that is not what God wants this country to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must change the narrative, we must talk to ourselves in the civilised language.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is nowhere you go in this country that you will not see geniuses in any section of the country. So, why should we look down on ourselves?\u201d<\/p>\n
