Former Heads of state who were given centenary awards by President Goodluck Jonathan, reacted to the awards shortly after it was conferred on them late Friday.


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said the award “means Nigeria is making progress. If Nigeria survived the first 100 years, it means that Nigeria has come to stay.”


General Muhammadu Buhari on his part, said the award meant a lot to him to be qualified to be recognised by Nigerians, saying “my wish for Nigeria is security.”


For General Ibrahim Babangida, the award also  meant a lot to him, adding that ” most of us that were awarded today (Friday),,the younger generation should try to emulate us because they will survive their sources of inspiration and aspiration.” (0)
