"Until recently during the military regime you served first, a lot of the assets Nigeria had, if they mentioned the name, they will mention your name.

"Anytime you're out of government and you withdraw, crises come, you come back to scene to help out and to ensure that we don't detsory as a country and because of those roles, Nigerias have continiously prayed for you."

Obasanjo praised Nigerians for the pleasant things said about him, said Nigeria still needs to get certain things right not only to make the anti - corruption war more effective, but also ensure the safety of Nigerians in midst of security threat.
