Former president, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo has attributed Nigeria’s under-performance to the problem of leadership.

Speaking when he granted audience to a frontline PDP Presidential Aspirant, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday, the former President said however that he had not lost hope because God has blessed Nigeria with men and women of caliber like Turaki who can stand their own in the world.

Chief Obasanjo noted that having listened to the speeches of Turaki and Boni Haruna (DG Kabiru Tanimu Turaki Campaign Organization) it simply means “we are not short of leadership that can perform, and that leadership has to be given opportunity (to serve).”

The former president who recalled that he consulted widely in 1998/1999 just as Turaki is doing now, revealed that he accepted to be drafted into the presidential campaign because of the need to unite the country.

“Listening to you, I believe you have got the concerns of Nigerians today in the area of security, economy and cohesion. Anybody who will lead Nigeria to the promised land will have my support, the former president said.

Obasanjo said further that what Turaki had been doing is to firm up and stabilize Nigeria’s democracy which, he believed is making some progress.

Turaki promised also that if he succeeds to become pre, his administration would examine every law including the constitution to make sure that those not serving the people fairly are amended.
