Former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to seek the counsel of the government of Zimbabwe on how to combat the persistent economic hardship in the country.
The former president said this during a youth leadership symposium for his 87th birthday ceremony. Obasanjo said Nigeria has a lot to learn from Zimbabwe and how it overcame its economic challenges in the past. Obasanjo pacified Nigerians that the inflation will be over soon, urging them to be patient and seek God's face.
"Committing suicide is not the end of any problem, confront it and take it to God because he could do anything. Zimbabwe had this problem recently. Shouldn’t we ask them how they did it even if our approach is different? Even if whatever we shall be doing will be different, we can ask questions to navigate our way out,", he said.
