Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared that there is much to say, but it is not yet time for it.
He made the declaration on Thursday in his capacity as the chairman of events at the 67th birthday celebration of Mike Ozekhome (SAN).
Orange reports Obasanjo, as he approached the podium for his speech, took ex-President Goodluck Jonathan along with him, announcing that he would be the co-chairman of the event.
Obasanjo went ahead to extol the virtues of Ozekhome describing him as “an extraordinary man” and “a radical.”
“Mike is a person who advocates for thorough or complete positive change with conviction, courage, and integrity.
“That is the man that we have come to honour,” Obasanjo stated before he passed the microphone to Jonathan.
Jonathan, on his part, disclosed that he wrote the forward of one of the 50 books that were presented at the event by Ozekhome, voicing that he knew that ex-President Obasanjo would not want to delve into the issues he pointed out about the judiciary and the recent judgements.
However, Obasanjo characteristically, before he left the podium, took back the microphone and said, “I know that former President Jonathan said that I would not want to say anything.
“But, I want to say that there is much to say and it is not yet time for it.”
