Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called on the older generation of Nigerians to give way for the younger generation to build a prosperous nation.
He said rather than contest, the old generation should collaborate with younger people and provide them with the requisite knowledge and experience to transform the country.
Obasanjo stated this in his capacity as Chairman while speaking virtually at the 2022 annual lecture of the Murtala Muhammed Foundation with the theme, ‘Beyond Boko Haram: Addressing insurgency, banditry and kidnapping across Nigeria’.
Obasanjo, in a veiled reference to the old generation of politicians jostling for the Presidency in 2023, was responding to the lecture by Fayemi that he was in primary school when the late Murtala Mohammed directed the affairs of the country.
