Atiku expressed his joy at reuniting with Obasanjo, describing the experience as both meaningful and humbling.

He also took a moment to appreciate Obasanjo’s steadfast support for the foundation, recognizing how the former president’s dedication has greatly helped WOTCLEF’s efforts to tackle social injustices and uplift vulnerable populations in Nigeria.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Atiku captured his feelings about the occasion, sharing how walking beside Obasanjo at the celebration felt like a significant moment.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
