Speaking to six lawmakers from the House of Representatives, Obasanjo emphasized the importance of assessing the character of leaders when selecting them. He argued that genuine change in Nigeria can only occur if leaders adopt a new mindset.

“Our major issue is ourselves,” Obasanjo said. “If we continue with the same people and the same mentality, no matter the length of their terms—whether four years, six years, or seven years—nothing will change.”

He highlighted the need to reevaluate democracy and governance forms, focusing on the character of individuals in power. “With all due respect, many of them should be in prison, and some should even be on the gallows. That’s the reality,” Obasanjo stated.

He urged a reassessment of how leaders are chosen, stressing the need for leaders with strong character, proven track records, and exemplary attributes. “We must consider what makes a good leader, their past performance, and whether they are role models,” he said.

The delegation included Abdulmalik Danga from Kogi, Dr. Usman Midala from Borno, Matthew Nwogu from Imo, Peter Aniekwe from Anambra, Kama Nkemkanma from Ebonyi, and Ugochinyere Ikenga from Imo.
