When I was president, I respected all past presidents - Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday spoke on need for those in positions of authority to respect everybody.


Addressing the new Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, who paid him a courtesy visit at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun, Obasanjo said that he respected every past and present presidents irrespective of the population of the countries or where they governed when he was at the helm of Nigeria’s affairs.

'I think that what is more important is to give good governance to the citizens and also have mutual respect for ourselves. “When I was president and even now, I usually accorded respect to all presidents, particularly to the ones with small populations.

''I do this because I realised that no matter how densely populated a country might be, it has the same one vote as the United Nations, just as a country with few people. For instance, Nigeria with a population of about 180 million has the same vote with Sao Tome with a population of 150, 000.”
