Obasanjo Holds Memorial Service for Late US President Jimmy Carter in Abeokuta
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo recently hosted a memorial service in Abeokuta, Ogun State, to honor his late friend and close ally, Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States.
Carter, a remarkable statesman and humanitarian, passed away on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100, in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.
His death marked the end of a life filled with service and dedication to peace.
Obasanjo, who had a long-standing friendship with Carter, expressed his deep admiration for the former president through a statement issued by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, announcing the service.
Carter’s legacy is profound, not just for his time in office but for his commitment to human rights, global peace, and public service.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts in promoting democracy, human rights, and combating disease in developing countries.
Before becoming president, Carter served as a Georgia state senator and governor, eventually defeating incumbent Gerald Ford in the 1976 presidential election.
