Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has criticized the decline of traditional institutions in Nigeria, blaming it for the Country’s worsening challenges.

In his new book, Nigeria: past and future, unveiled last week, Obasanjo lamented that many traditional rulers have abandoned their role as custodians of customs and societal values. He also raised concerns over the increasing number of monarchs, arguing that unworthy individuals were now being installed as rulers.
