Former president, Obasanjo urges Nigerians never to lose hope in country

Former Nigeria’s president Olusegun Obasanjo has enjoined Nigerians to have hope in the Federal Government’s efforts to improve the economy, assuring that things would soon be back to normal.

Obasanjo gave the advice on Sunday, during a speech at a church event in Ilorin, Kwara State.

The erstwhile president stated that every sector of the society is feeling the economic crunch, adding that market men, businessmen, and women confronted with poor profits.

Speaking in his local dialect, Yoruba, Obasanjo said, “In times like this, different things happen. Then, people will start to think that what we are experiencing present challenges as a result of what happened in the past.

“Children are graduating from schools both are unemployed, even market women are not making good sales like they do in the past. Small and big business owners are not making good profits like before too. It is only for a while,” he said.

He also appealed to Nigeria have faith in God as there is light at the end of the tunnel.
