“This award is not only to honour me, but, it is also an award for all the great men and women who have worked tirelessly with me in all the undertakings I have had in my life.”
Meanwhile, former president Goodluck Jonathan said the reason Obasanjo's third term bill failed was because of the strong resistance from the national assembly.
