Let me make a solemn pledge before all of you, before the whole world and before God, that I will devote all my energy and all I possess in my power to serve the people of Nigeria and humanity.
From Olusegun Obasanjo
I will not say the fact that there are no European Union observers at an election means that it will not be fair and free.
There is no part of the world where corruption is absolutely eliminated.
Fighting corruption is not a one-night affair.
I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge that our foreign friends are welcome to join in our endeavor to develop the resources of our country.
We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.
We will work to bring an element of stability to the price of oil.
If I am not above the law, nobody in this country can then claim to be above the law.
I believe God knew what he was doing when he put oil under our ground. It should be a means to an end.
When I left office in 1979, I was about the only one who had really left public office on my own.
