Channels TV reported that the elder statesman also spoke on anti-corruption war in the country, his legacies in government and current events in Nigeria.
Speaking further, Obasanjo also clarified claims of being an accidental leader, and noted that leaders are both born and made by God.
“So, I will say most leaders are prepared by God and they put in place by God and when that happens the chances of success are higher than when you make yourself a leader which may not be the act of God.
“And again people saying all leaders are made by God, I don’t accept that. A leader can also be made by Satan. In the case of Job, you can remember Satan was going up and down and went before God and God was commending Job but Satan said Job was upright to God because he has gotten from God.
“We must accept that Satan is real and he has power, he has no salvation but he has power and the power of Satan must not be underrated,” Obasanjo said.
