In a statement Ezekwueme describes Gen.Olusegun Obasanjo is a patriotic soldier, consummate and astute politician, statesman, detribalized patriotic servant leader, courageous, fearless and upright.
As a military head of state, he served the nation to the best of his ability and with greater interest of the masses at heart.
“It is on record that he introduced reforms in the Local Government System in Nigeria.
He engraved and enshrined his name as a renowned champion of democracy when he voluntarily relinquished power to democratically elected officials in 1979.

“He appointed the most qualified Nigerians into sensitive positions based on merit regardless of political affiliations, tribe, religion or clan cleavages.
“He united Nigeria and Nigerians and ensured the cancellation of Nigeria foreign debts,” he said.
According to him, the apogee of Obasanjo’s patriotism was love for unity, peace, progressive and prosperous Nigeria as he advocated and campaigned for justice, equity, equality, competent, capacity and character in choice of our leaders during the last year general elections.
Ezekwueme stated that Obasanjo deserved to be celebrated as the only President that left office without any foreign debts and better than he met it.
“We pray to God to give him more grace, wisdom, good health as he continues to selflessly and patriotically serve God and humanity.
“Wishing him more prosperous, fruitful and progressive years ahead beyond his highest hopes and expectations,” he added.
