President Olusegun Obasanjo said at the weekend he remains undecided if he should seek a third term as president and would let God decide for him...
Additional time in office, if approved by lawmakers and voters -and God, could allow reforms he has initiated in the past seven years to become "anchored", he said in an interview with an American newspaper on Sunday.
Obasanjo, a born-again Christian, also said: "I also believe that God is not a God of abandoned projects, If God has a project, He will not abandon it."
Many of his initiatives remain unfinished, he added. His second term is due to end next year.
In other words, the Nigerian constitution only allows him 2 terms, and he wants to stay in power longer than that. So God, combined with the democratic process, will see to it that the constitution is changed. After all, God wouldn't start something He didn't want to finish, right? Sounds like Obasanjo and Bossuet would get along just fine.
But I can't complain that a professing Christian President is talking about God. Good start, I guess.
