Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described Nigeria as a country presently dripping bitterness and sadness.
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.
He said this on Thursday while receiving a book titled, ‘The Man, The General and The President,’ authored by Femmy Carrena, at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
Obasanjo said, “My prayer is that all of us will have something to contribute to making this country what God has created it to be – a land flowing with milk and honey.

Both the teaching and non-teaching staff of the D. S Adegbenro ICT Polytechnic, Itori, Ewekoro, Ogun State on Thursday, scampered for safety following the sporadic gunshots in the premises.
Our correspondent gathered that the sound of gunshots was heard shortly after the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, Ogun State chapter gained entry into the premises of the institution.
It was gathered that the incident rekindled the last year assassination of one of the lecturers in the school which happened at the gate.
The incident happened 24 hours after students blocked the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway to protest against the management over examination matters.
