Obasanjo: The AU Farewell

He did it! President Olusegun Obasanjo made my day when he bade Africa farewell at the 8th African Union Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He reinforced the bye-byes in his address at the honorary doctorate awards ceremony of the Addis Ababa University, to an audience which included fellow honoree Prime Minister Romano Prodi of Italy.

True to his word, he has since led his party's presidential campaign roadshows, vigorously canvassing for his potential successor, Katsina Governor Umar Yar'Adua.

May the doubting Thomases give him a break!
