Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said the desired peace and security in African countries would continue to elude them until world leaders acknowledge
the importance of using African-grown solutions to resolving the political and socio-economic problems plaguing the continent.
“We wish to convey the gratitude of students and young people from Tigray Region, Ethiopia, and the rest of Africa for your statesman-like role in brokering the “Cessation of Hostilities Agreement between the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and the Tigray Peoples’ Liberation Front ”; and other peace building roles you have played in Ethiopia and Africa at large”.
The elder statesman declared that with a homegrown approach to resolving the crisis, no problem in Africa is too great for Africans to solve by themselves either political or economic among others. “It is a great lesson for us to know that yes, whatever may be our problem – political, economic, or social in Africa we can solve them if we go about seeking a solution correctly. No problem in Africa is too great for us to solve. Where there may be problems of peace, problem of insecurity, problems of youths unemployment, lack of empowerment, lack of acquisition of skills, youths frustration and of course general bad governance,” he said.
