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.
