In a nod to the late 1970s, when Africa was ruled by brutal juntas, Obasanjo paved the way for Nigeria’s transition to civilian rule.

“Obasanjo created an era of progressive reforms in Nigeria that continues to benefit the people of Nigeria up till today.”

Meanwhile, President Buhari has stated that Nigerians must begin to seek outside the military and security services for long-term answers to the country’s insecurity problems.
