Former Nigerian-President Obasanjo

However, as we have observed with every president, he also faced criticism during his presidency. This posture of the man somehow reminds of significant actions that were crucial towards foundation of the nation, with positive or negative outcome.


Let’s not pretend there weren’t hiccups along the way, Obasanjo himself probably knows that leading Nigeria. With all its complexities, was no walk in the park His tenure saw reforms in various sectors, from the economy to tackling corruption. but not everyone agrees those efforts were perfect, whether you see him as a hero or hold reservations about his time in office, there’s no denying that Obasanjo left an indelible mark on the nation.


And, as usual, the discourse around his leadership continues to spark conversations. People are still trying to figure out if his “I did everything right” statement rings true—or if it's just the confidence of a man who knows how to play the political game.
