Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has issued a stern warning over the escalating economic hardship in the country, declaring that Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder due to worsening poverty, hunger and leadership failures.
Obasanjo made the damning remarks on Friday while speaking at the Dele Momodu Leadership Lecture, where he decried the deteriorating living conditions of millions of Nigerians and challenged the political class to rise to the occasion.
