with the March 28 Election results.
Obasanjo while addressing an audience an
audience at the United States Institute of
Peace in Washington DC said “I have
visited six countries since the election, they
are as happy about the results. It is good
not only for Nigeria, it is good for Africa
and I believe it is good for the world.
“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) , “has
moved Nigeria one very important step up
in our democracy.”
He urged African leaders to rethink and
reframe how to situate Africa at the centre
of inquiry. He said “Governance reform and
capacity-building programmes, for example,
are apt to look everywhere but within. For
a change, let us move away from the
melancholic issue of what is wrong with
Africa.
“If we are truly committed to invigorating
conversations about an Africa-focused,
Africa-led and Africa-driven framework for
substantive self-determination and
sustainable development, it is important to
rethink and reframe how we situate Africa
at the centre of inquiry.”
