Obasanjo described as world’s most documented president

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has been described as the world’s most documented president by the Biographical Legacy and Research Foundation (BLERF).

The foundation’s founder, Nyaknno Osso, on Wednesday, August 28, said Obasanjo is globally documented due to the leadership roles he has played across the African continent.

Osso said, “In the course of working with  Obasanjo, at a certain time I counted over  320 books, and journals on him.

“No American president had that kind of record, no British Prime Minister or any other nation had that kind of documentation.

He added that he has visited over 500 libraries across Nigeria, Africa and the US and that every country he travelled to had records of the former president.

“Every country we travelled to, the President would say go to major libraries or the documentation centres, ask for things on Nkrumah, Mandela, and myself and I would always get materials on him.

“I believe  Obasanjo is the most informed African alive, apart from being documented, he is versed and dynamic and once he sets his mind to do something, he will do it.

Osso further described the former president as a thinker who does his best to find new ways of doing things and delivering solutions to challenges.
