Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has criticized Nigerian leaders for their poor management of the nation’s resources, arguing that this is a major contributor to the country’s current state of hardship.
Speaking at the 40th anniversary celebration of the Methodist Archdiocese of Abuja, Obasanjo acknowledged that Nigeria is richly blessed with resources like the Niger and Benue rivers, oil, and fertile land.
He emphasized that God has given Nigeria everything it needs to thrive, but that this potential is being squandered due to mismanagement.
“We have misused the gifts God has given us,” he stated, highlighting that the country’s challenges are not due to a lack of resources, but rather, a lack of wisdom in using them.
Obasanjo urged leaders, religious figures, and citizens to pray for Nigeria’s recovery, believing that God will intervene if the nation truly seeks His guidance and repents for its misusing of His gifts.
