Olusegun Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has vowed never to stop doing good until God calls him to glory.
The retired military general in an interview with the newly established international television station, Arise TV, called on the need for international community to mobilise support the international coalition forces in Mali.
He stressed that the intervention was launched for the benefit of the global community.
The interview we learnt was recorded in London where the Ota farmer recently arrived for the launch of his Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation scheduled for tomorrow, February 8.
Asked when he would retire from the international stage, the former president averred: “There is no retirement in doing good in life and so long as you have breadth, you should continue to do good.”
Obasanjo while commending the efforts of the international coalition forces in Mali, said the Malian troops must be boosted through increased training to be able to handle the critical situation.
“The point is that if we have a situation anywhere in the world that affects the whole world, the world must be able to raise the needed money in order to deal with the situation,” adding “if the will is there, it would be done.”
According to him, his efforts in good works, which he said, were also being channeled through his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, were in the line of American presidents established the presidential libraries after leaving office.
