Olusegun Obasanjo

The name Olusegun Obasanjo is not strange to anybody around the
world. In Nigeria, Obasanjo is a household name, a civil war hero, an
administrator, a successful farmer, the first military head of State to
have organized an election and handed over successfully to a civilian
government, a nation-builder who initiated most of Nigeria’s national
heritage and a builder of men who introduced many Nigerian technocrats
to governance and their indelible marks in governance are still very
visible, the only Nigerian to have been nominated as United Nation’s
Secretary General, the first former head of State to be imprisoned,
though on a wrong accusation, and the first person to have ruled Nigeria
twice (between 1976-1979 and 1999-2007).
