ANYTHING coming from former President Olusegun Obasanjo should be assessed with circumspection. He and the military mindset of the ‘class of 1966’ have been a part of the problem. We are not too certain as to the role they can make in finding a solution.

The country, to say the list, is at a critical junction. The program put on offer to the Nigerian people will be of existential importance. Disappointingly, it has all been uninspiring so far. There has been an absurd fixation on ephemeral personalities rather than on the efficacy of programs.
