I was so delighted to see former United States Presidents, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush Jnr, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama line up at the funeral service of former President George H. W. Bush Snr.

The lesson here is, all these leaders and several other former Western leaders alive, never participate in their country’s politics after leaving office. They remain great statesmen and only comment on global issues affecting humanity generally.

I want to see Obasanjo do the same to show that he is indeed a statesman.
