Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, lamented yesterday that mismanagement of resources has been the main problem confronting Nigeria.
The former president, who spoke at the 2015 annual summit and his 78the birthday celebration held at Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta also said that most of the West African countries were worried about the situation in Nigeria while the developed countries were afraid that should there be a civil war in the country, no country could accommodate some of the 180 million Nigerians.
Obasanjo, flanked by former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and former governors of Osun and Ekiti states, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Segun Oni respectively said the problem of the country arose from mismanagement of resources.
The former President’s birthday had featured two lectures delivered by former Chief of Defence Staff during late President Umar Yar’Adua, General Martin Luther Agwai (rtd) and Director-General, National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion, Dr. Umar Bindir.
Speaking shortly after the two speakers , Obasanjo described himself as an ‘incurable optimist’ about the country, noting that an individual could make a difference.
