The Former President also said that most African countries he has visited were happy with the March 28 Election results.
Obasanjo while addressing an audience an audience at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington DC said “I have visited six countries since the election, they are as happy about the results. It is good not only for Nigeria, it is good for Africa and I believe it is good for the world.
“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) , “has moved Nigeria one very important step up in our democracy.”
He urged African leaders to rethink and reframe how to situate Africa at the centre of inquiry. He said “Governance reform and capacity-building programmes, for example, are apt to look everywhere but within. For a change, let us move away from the melancholic issue of what is wrong with Africa.
“If we are truly committed to invigorating conversations about an Africa-focused, Africa-led and Africa-driven framework for substantive self-determination and sustainable development, it is important to rethink and reframe how we situate Africa at the centre of inquiry.”
