Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says deficit of leadership is a major challenge confronting the world, Africa inclusive.
Obasanjo made the assertion on Monday at the 11th African Biblical Leadership Initiative (ABLI) 2024 Conference, organised by the Bible Society of various countries across the world, hosted by Nigeria in Abuja.
“If there is any shortage in supply of anything in the world today, it is leadership.
“Deficit of leadership is our major problem in the world today and of course, Africa being part of the world, we are not exempted and if you like, Nigeria being part of Africa, we are not exempted.
“When I got invitation as a chairman of this occasion, I took a critical look at the Biblical quality of leadership of great leaders in the Bible.
“These people possessed knowledge and understanding, they had mission, compassion and were competent and very close to God who is the greatest leader,’’ he said.
Obasanjo challenged world leaders, including those in Africa and Nigeria in particular, to lead with fear of God to overcome the present challenges.
He said leaders must possess, “quality of Biblical leaders who ruled the world of their generation with God’s wisdom’’.
