The Carter Center said Saturday that former President Jimmy Carter has entered home hospice care.

The charity created by the 98-year-old former president said on Twitter that after a series of short hospital stays, Carter “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”

It said he has the full of his medical team and family, which “asks for privacy at this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many irers.”

Carter, a Democrat, became the 39th U.S. president when he defeated former President Gerald R. Ford in 1976. He served a single term and was defeated by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Jimmy carter is such a good man, he was a very good president too, old age comes with health issues, he's already 98

Wishing him all the best at this difficult time, good men will surely be ed for their good deeds.

He was the first US president that visited Nigeria.

But how come both Jimmy carter, William J. Clinton and George Bush all came to Nigeria during OBJ istration, none has visited since then.

It shows that Obasanjo is well respected by the international community

He was first, the Governor of Georgia (1971-1975).
Won the Nobel Prize in 2002.

One of the first Senators to visit him at the WH after his election was .... Joe Biden!

He's actually a nice person.

It's a shame he lost to that devil Ronald Reagan and Reaganomics.

Old age will happen to us all.

Yes, real leaders grin. Baba is still very much relevant. Forget the age he's claiming cheesy. He's in his 90s. Prof Soyinka used to call him an egbon when they were both schooling at BBHS, SAJE in those days...and you can't be addressing someone you're older than, that way. Soyinka would clock 89 this July.

Obj, Buhari, IBB, Gowon, Murtala and Co became heads of state before they clocked 50. If at your age(the so-called leaders of tomorrow) , you're still running after that over 80 years old but claiming 70, saying Emilokan upandan, instead of paving the way and charting a good course for your future( which is now) ,come Saturday, it's your fault if the status quo is allowed to be maintained at the helms

The irony of life..
Just like an infant, we will surely need care and assistance to get by if we live long enough.
But the stress in Lagos and Nigeria as a whole might prevent us from either getting there or lower the age at which assistance will be needed.
