Here is what President Olusegun Obasanjo said on Friday in his
tribute to the icon, Nelson Mandela:
"Certain that his task was completed, Mandela modestly refused
to seek re-election after his first term in office as his presidency
elapsed. I still recall his pragmatic words when he said to me
‘Olu, show me a [reasonable] place in the world where a man of
80 years is running the affairs of his country' .
"This, to me, reflects an unequaled sense of modesty for a man
who spent 27 of the prime years of his life in prison for a just
cause."
When will our leaders in Nigeria begin to exhibit such unequaled
sense of modesty?
