Jonathan, Kufuor set for Obasanjo’s reception

JANUARY 15, 2013 BY AKINWALE ABOLUWADE AND SEGUN OLATUNJI

President Goodluck Jonathan, ex-Ghanaian President John Kufuor and some governors are scheduled to attend a civic reception in honour of former President Olusegun Obasanjo following his voluntary retirement from office as Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The two-day event billed for the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, from January 18 to 19, is expected to be chaired by former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, and Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido.

Chairman, Planning Committee of the event, Adeyemi Adefulu, at a press conference on Monday in Ibadan, said Obasanjo was being celebrated because he was an outstanding statesman and an icon.

Adefulu added, “Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is being  celebrated for his exploits on the political landscape of Nigeria in the past 50years.

“In the 60s, he was a young officer fighting in the Congo on a United Nation’s Mission to restore order to Zaire.

“It is to his glory that he kept faith with the people and in 1979 handed over to Alhaji Shehu Shagari as elected President of Nigeria.

“Having dominated the Nigerian public life in a way no other person has for the past 50 years, the symbolism of another retirement is not lost on us. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has effectively become the father of the nation, a political oracle and a living legend whose life is worth celebrating.”

Meanwhile, the President Olusegun Obasanjo  Presidential Library Centre for Human Security and the Institute for Africa Culture and International Understanding on Monday said about N3.675bn would be spent on Delta and Ogun states as well as on other African countries to check unemployment  and ensure food security.

The OOPL-CHS and IACIU also said an undisclosed sum would be spent on 12 different projects in the next 10 years

CHS Director, Prof. Peter Okebukola, who spoke at a news conference in Abeokuta, added that one of the pilot projects being implemented would create employment for about two million youths in Ogun alone.

Okebukola said the Feed the Delta Project under the pilot programme of the centre’s Feed Africa Project was aimed at supporting African governments in implementation of policies and programmes that would guarantee food security.

You guys should go and read this awakening piece by Prof. Pius Akinasanmi, rather than posting things that are not beneficial to an average brain dead Nigeria http://saharareporters.com/column/2015-i-endorse-you-spectocrat-pius-adesanmi

o guy,ur craze no too normal..must u quote d whole topic..

He should have asked for more terms or tenure elongation now. Is he not the same OBJ?

In a rational world that is clamouring for a fundamental change,opportunities like this are what citizens use to show their disgust for evil animals like obj by mountinng a formidable but peaceful demostration to denounce the gathering of vultures that calls themselves statesmen and women. Obj ties with the ex ghana president is the ill investments he has in ghana with our stolen loots,he has more covert investments in ghana than nigeria.

Bros relax. Until the event comes and goes make no conclusions. Trust me, another best selling drama would emmerge from this event.

Bro, ur coment makes a mountain of sense, but hey, who would lead such a protest? Even if it were to be some sort of spontaneous protest, who would mount the stage first? Most Nigerians know exactly where to hit these vultures but with our overzealous, ignorant, and poorly trained security operatives, unlike what exists in saner societies, takin such a step might as well cost one their life. It hapened in January '12 durring the subsidy protests and to this day, nothing has been done to bring to book those responsible for the murders.
The only solution to out problems in my opinion is through the ballot, or forming an underground network that would go after those thieves one at a time, making sure a note is left on the crime scene as to the motive for eliminating the rogues. I would be more than willing to join such a network.

Please I am loving this. I have asked you to teach me this please get back to me. My email address is there for you to reply me. I will be expecting your response.
