   Don’t wish me dead, you still need me to mentor you- Obasanjo begs Nigerian youths

     Former president Olusegun Obasanjo tells Nigerian youths not to wish him and other elder statesmen dead.

The former president said this while

speaking during the youth governance dialogue, which was held by the Youth Development Centre of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

“ Though we are old, we still have things to teach the youths”, he said.
According to the former president, the current happenings across the country is as a result of frustration. He however called on youths not to lose hope.

“ Don’t wish us dead, don’t wish us to disappear because you will need us. You need us to mentor and prepare you for the future. You need our experience and assistance of some of us to guide you through life.

“You should not lose hope, you should not feel frustrated. Whenever I go abroad, they always ask me what my fear about Nigeria and Africa is, and I tell them my greatest fear is youth anger, frustrations and youth explosion which have no bound.

“ We have the Boko-haram in the north, the MASSOB and IPOB in the south-east, the militants in the Niger Delta and the Oodua people’s congress in the south-west. All of these are the expression of anger and frustrations.” Olusegun Obasanjo said.
