The former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday told immediate past president Goodluck Jonathan to be ready when called upon to be of service to the world.
Obasanjo, who stated this on Friday in Ibogun, his hometown when Jonathan paid him a visit said the former president is now wiser after leaving office.
“When leaders come, they have little or no experience. When they have to go is when they have really amassed a lot of experience, where they have wisdom, their experience is in high demand.
“Those like you and me who have the grace of God to bow out gracefully, if there is now what I call constitutional office, we have residual responsibilities for Nigeria,” Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo added, “The first point I want to make is to thank you very sincerely and most sincerely for taking it upon yourself to pay us a visit at this point in time and at this location. Secondly, since you left office, you hardly have time to sit down and relax like you have been able to do today and I hope, I sincerely hope and pray for more such relaxed situation where we can reminisce on situations of the past that we have been through in this country and we can also look at what the future portends.
