Obasanjo stated this while speaking in Lagos during a colloquium with the theme, “The African Christian Leadership: Radical Transformation in Unsettled Times” to mark the 61st birthday of Pastor Itua Ighodalo, Obasanjo said Nigeria’s problem is entirely about leadership.

Recall that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirants like former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar; former Senate President Bukola Saraki; former governor Peter Obi; Governor Aminu Tambuwal, are among those who have said nomination forms were bought for them.
