has advised political leaders in the country to draw inspiration from the life and leadership style of Jimmy Carter .Speaking on The Morning Show on Arise TV on Monday, Obasanjo described Carter as a symbol of power who demonstrated humility and responsibility during his tenure. He praised Carter’s ability to wield power constructively, highlighting his role in brokering peace between Israel and Egypt, and his deep understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Jimmy Carter was a man who understands power, but he also understands that the duty of power is rarely not in using it but in understanding it, Obasanjo said. He was humble with power, and he knews how to use power. Bringing Israel and Egypt together was one great achievement in his legacy; and when you read the book that Jimmy Carter wrote on the Palestinian-Israeli problem, he understood the problem. He understood the genesis, and he prescribed what I will call equitable solution; and that is one thing any leader should do. You don’t jump into problems without understanding it — without knowing it.There are many ways by which you can kill a chicken, but what is the best way? And that is one good lesson we should learn from President Carter and his legacy. Obasanjo also commended Carter’s post-presidency dedication to humanitarian causes, civil rights, and liberal democracy, calling his legacy a model for leadership
