Obasanjo who has had the sheer grace of ruling over the nation for 12 years is eminently qualified to make a thorough assessment of the Nigeria Project and pinpoint at what point exactly did the fortunes of the once-acclaimed Giant of Africa began to nosedive.
The Owu, Abeokuta-born retired General will also speak on his legacies while in government, both during the Military days and during his eight years two-term tenure especially the state of the economy, the nation’s debt profile, welfare of Nigerians and security.
Expectedly, Obasanjo will also assess the leadership capacity of past Nigeria leaders, those before him and succeeding Presidents after his tenure as well as the incumbent President Bola Tinubu.
Foremost traditional ruler, the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Prof. Saka Matemilola, is expected to deliver a keynote address to herald the discourse, in his capacity as Chairman, Boiling Point Council of Royals and Elders.
According to a statement by the Chairman, Organizing Committee for the programme, Dr Eddy Ademosu, one of Nigeria’s notable Public Relations Icon, the interview discourse will in particular point the way forward for reinventing the nation.
