Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday during the presentation/launch of a book, “Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria”, authored by a professor of International Studies, John Paden, said Nigerians should be committed to “the unity, development, wholesomeness and progress” of the country. The former leader said he and Buhari have maintained their relationship despite having been in a direct political opposition in the past. In his words, “President Buhari and I have had many encounters, but most of them in parallel. Not too long ago, we had a direct opposition at the ballot box but even then, it did not affect our relationship. And fortunately, we didn’t have to look at each other through the barrels of our guns. I thank God for that.”
