Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
said on Saturday that he had committed to live the rest of his life on service to humanity.
Obasanjo made public his commitment in Abeokuta at the 20th anniversary of the Communion Faith Assembly.
The occasion also witnessed the dedication of the Church’s new cathedral.
Chairman of the Ogun chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bishop Tunde Akin-Akinsanya, is the pastor in charge at the church.
Obasanjo, who spoke during the dedication service, said he arrived from Sudan on Friday night and would be traveling back to the United States (US) on Sunday.
“I am committed to global peace and service to humanity and I am here to play my part in peace building,” NAN quoted him to have said.
According to him, the best way to determine a successful life was by measuring the positive impacts that life had made on other lives.
He explained that he had chosen a worthy path and he would not deviate from it.
The former president said he was happy to identify with the CAN and its leadership in Ogun because they had continued to act as peace agent in the state.
He commended Pastor Akin-Akinsanya for his commitment to expanding “God’s kingdom on earth” and enhancing peaceful co-existence in the state.
Salisu Shuaibu, the Chief of Staff to the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, also acknowledged the key role CAN is playing in sustaining peace in the state.
