Here is what President Olusegun Obasanjo said on Friday in his tribute to the icon, Nelson Mandela:
“Certain that his task was completed, Mandela modestly refused to seek re-election after his first term in office as his presidency elapsed. I still recall his pragmatic words when he said to me ‘Olu, show me a [reasonable] place in the world where a man of 80 years is running the affairs of his country’.
“This, to me, reflects an unequaled sense of modesty for a man who spent 27 of the prime years of his life in prison for a just cause.”

When will our leaders in Nigeria begin to exhibit such unequaled sense of modesty? #leadership
