Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has said western liberal democracy is not working for the country, stating that votes don’t count in Nigeria and unless things change, he won’t vote again.

Obasanjo made this known in his remarks at the 2024 youth governance dialogue organized by the Youth Development Centre of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital.

Speaking during an interactive session with youths, the former president stated that for youths to change the narrative, they must be positively instructive.
He said no visible development has been recorded in the country, just as he also berated successive governments after his tenure for alleged poor handling of the power sector.

Also speaking at the event, Senior Programme Development Officer, Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Martins Adogbajale, noted that the youth governance dialogue is a platform for young minds to engage Obasanjo on issues in Africa including receiving mentorship on how to solve these problems.

  1. OBJ should know it’s not the best way to effect a positive change in nigeria; infact his saying that he won’t vote again just means he is no longer one of the elder statesmen that matters again in Nigeria. The youths of Nigeria should be encouraged to embrace the fact that it was youths not elders that fought and won independence for Nigeria from colonialists and hence it is youths who are expected to again liberate Nigeria from elders who are currently like colonialists imperializing younger Nigerians and Nigeria. Nothing is further from the truth.
