Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Tuesday said not even the fear of death could stop him from raising his voice whenever there is a need to do so as an elder statesman in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Obasanjo disclosed this at a two-day interactive session of the Presidential Youth Mentorship Retreat, held at the Youth Development Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The Owu-born octogenarian said God has favoured him to live long after serving as military head of state and as democratically-elected president of the country.
He said the youths across the African region needed mentorship by their leaders.
Addressing the youths, Obasanjo advised them to sacrifice themselves individually and collectively to make the African continent a great nation.
