Good leadership will make Africa move far together, says Obasanjo

Former President Obasanjo has stressed the need for good leadership if Africa is to go far, as well as stressing the importance of good leadership, noting that without it, Africa can’t go fast and move far together.

Penpushing reports that Obasanjo gave the submission the public presentation of his new book, ‘The Art of Leading: Unconventional Wisdom from Biblical,’ at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), as part of the activities marking his 87th birthday.

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Hassan Kukah, who reviewed the 13-chapter book, in his own remarks emphasized that leaders have to be obedient as well as instill values in the discharge of their duties.

Penpushing further reports that Kukah pointed out that the publication spoke on how Christians could make an impact in politics, adding that leadership as described in the book is for service.

The known frankly speaking clergyman said Nigerian leaders must cooperate with the grace of God, noting that Christians who are in politics must infuse values that would be evident for all to see, noting that the social conditions of Nigeria have continued to slow down the pace of the country.

Penpushing also reports that former President of Ghana and Special Guest of Honour at the event, John Mahama, in his own remarks pointed out that African leaders should lead with wisdom, adding that they must seek divine guidance and inculcate values that are worthy of emulation.
