“God has done a lot for me. I want to do things that will make God show His Mercy on me… I can’t lie to God.” “Those of you who know where I was born, how many of you know Ibogun-Olaogun? The village where I was born is so small that no matter how large you make the map of Nigeria, Ibogun-Olaogun will never appear,” Obasanjo said. Stating that the kind of opportunity he got could not have been possible if not for God’s presence in his life, Obasanjo said, he cannot thank God enough.

On an occasion like this, let us just thank God and keep thanking God,” Obasanjo said.
