Obasanjo said, “If there is anything that I would ask of you, it is that you should never stop fasting and praying for Nigeria. I always say that I’m an incurable optimist about this country.
“In my short span of life, I have seen a few unexpected things in this country when we thought that the end would just happen, but God made us to scale through.
“I personally never thought we would have a leader like (late Gen. Sani) Abacha in this country, I was a victim of his despotism but God saw us through that situation.
“There is no situation we see or worry about that God will not see us through.
That is my belief and that is what gives me confidence, it gives me courage, it gives me the ability to work for the country’s unity.
“No matter what is happening, to me and the country, all will be well. And those of you who believe all will be well for Nigeria should continue to shout Hallelujah. God has done it for us.”
The former President, while alluding to his years in the military, expressed optimism that Nigeria would remain united and indivisible.
Earlier in his remarks, Omobude had described Obasanjo as a special treasure to the country, adding that the former President should not stop at playing pivotal role for the good of the country.
Omobude, who led the leadership of the PFN to Obasanjo, said that the fellowship would continue to pray for the peace, unity and progress of the country.
