Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo speaking at the unveiling of the autobiography of the Babanla Adinni of Egbaland, Chief Tayo Sowunmi stated that Nigeria needs more rebels if it must move forward.
The event which took place on Saturday, February 19 was titled “Footprints Of A Rebel.” in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
He said;
“Looking at the title of the book, I ask myself, why would someone call himself a rebel. But it is good.
But the truth is that if you have to leave a life of honesty and integrity, you have to become a rebel. There would be some time you would be asked have to do something, but you would say no, this is not right. And when you say that you will become a rebel. You may even become a persona non grata.
Our country, there is no country that we can call our own except Nigeria. Our country, Nigeria, needs more rebels. Those who would look at things straight in the face and say ‘this is not right, this, I will not be part of, this is not good for Nigeria.”
