Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, says Nigeria required a leader driven by passion to rule the country and put it on the right footing. Obasanjo said he had no other country he could call his own and had no other country he could go to. He stated this when he played host to a presidential aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. The former President, in his remarks, lamented that the current situation in Nigeria was not only agonizing for him, but for other Nigerians who also desired a better Nigeria.
According to him, Nigeria requires a leader who has a passion, innovation, and vision and some who possess adequate knowledge about the challenges confronting the country. He insisted that Nigeria can overcome its security challenges within two years with the right leader who will be willing to make tough decisions.
