By Saddam Yusuf Saleh

Former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed why he isn’t afraid of death.

Obasanjo disclosed this during an interactive session of the Presidential Youth Mentorship Retreat, held at the Youth Development Centre, on Tuesday.

He revealed in quotes “I’m not afraid of death at my age, God has favoured me and I appreciate God’s blessings on me over these years.

“My concern over the years is to build leaders of Africa. My greatest concern is tomorrow and that tomorrow begins today.

“The world today is in crisis; I believed that youths need interaction from leaders and learning from them. I want to be inspired at the end of this programme.

“I want you to identify yourself and use your identity to achieve service to God and humanity.”
