Former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has said despite that Nigeria is a complex country it is not too difficult to govern.

Obasanjo while commissioning presidential lodge inside Osun state Government House, Oke-Fia, Osogbo alongside Governor Ademola Adeleke and former governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola on Sunday, May 12, noted that governance is easy when leaders are honest with their conscience.

He said: “With my experience, Nigeria is a complex country but Nigeria is not a difficult country to rule, maybe one can also say the same that Osun state is a complex state but Osun State is not a difficult state to rule.

“You have to be honest with your conscience, with the people and with your God. You have to be a man of character and attributes that everybody will see that Ademola Adeleke, when he sees opportunity to dance, he would dance but is a man of integrity, honesty and hardwork, it is very important! When light comes, darkness vanishes.”

He also declared that Adeleke is his dancing partner any day because he has proven to the world that he is happy and also very hardworking governor.

He advised Adeleke that, “You are working on roads, don’t joke with it because when we make necessary provision for the people to have jobs and they will work. Many Yoruba people want to work but what is impeding that is the road to ply. When we provide wherewithal for them they would work. I will plead with you to continue with that.”

Earlier, Adeleke explained that the VIP lodge was abandoned after the istration of Rauf Aregbesola who left it at 35 percent completion.

“However, work commenced on the project three months ago and now it is completed. This lodge can accommodate 5 dignitaries with their team conveniently at a time.”

Complex Country? YES
Difficult to Rule? YES
Why? Because ONE NIGERIA is a Scam.

Nobody TRULY believes in ONE NIGERIA.

Baba that was removing senate president anyhow. Where do we start from,is it when PDP governors were forced to donate money to his library or how one of the Uba brothers manhandled a sitting governor (Ngige) in the state house. He laid the foundation for everything that's wrong with this 4th Republic

then igbos never fell out with pdp so they still believed pdp will hand over power to them so they don’t take every president as an enemy but now that they fell out with pdp everyone is their enemy n it’s unwise to carry an enemy along in your doings

If their obi had contested against obj then n results were announced even when people were still queuing to vote I believe they won’t b saying this rubbish

They don’t even know yakubu is a million times better than maurice iwu

from your submissions, u Votr for tribal reasons and not based on competence, hence the 900 percent inflation we are experiencing under APC. Its people like u who campaigned against 900 percent decrease in prices when PDP was ruling and now, are defending current prices at 900 % increase
