Owing to reports of reconciliatory moves between former Presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, ahead of 2019 polls, Obasanjo yesterday urged Nigerian leaders to emulate him and Jonathan.

According to Ceoafrica, Obasanjo made the urge after a closed door meeting with Jonathan, at his Ibogun Olaogun country home, in Ifo Local government area of Ogun State, where Jonathan arrived at, with former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki and other close aides.

Obasanjo in a brief remark after the meeting which lasted for about one hour and a half, tasked leaders across the world to learn from the exemplary leadership style of himself and that of Jonathan.

The former President urged Nigerians, especially the leaders to continue working together for the success of the country, saying “Nigeria is a good country and we must never be tired of lifting the country up to the height that God has created it to be.

“God has created it to be and God did not make a mistake when he put all of us together and if He doesn’t want us to be together no power in the world would have made us come together”, he added.

He charged Jonathan to contribute his own quota to the development of the country and the African continent at large.

“I believe that not only Nigeria, West Africa and Africa and indeed the world will continue to tap into our experiences, our wisdom and I hope and pray that when the call is made to you, you will be more than ready to put your experience, the lessons you have learnt into the service of this country, for African and indeed for humanity in general.
