Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has said a prayer to
God to grant him the grace to live for ten more ten years.
The elder statesman made the comments while receiving
his Permanent Voters’ Card (PVC), on Thursday, 20
November, from the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) at the Presidential Hilltop Estate in
Abeokuta, Ogun State.
After receiving the PVC which is valid for ten years,
Obasanjo, who is 77-years-old, said: “My prayer to God is
for him to please let me outlast this card.”
Speaking further, he stated:
“This means that if I outlast this card, I can be
smiling. But then, it is only the grace of God. But I
heard that some people were complaining that they
have not collected their card. I do not complain
because I know that I will eventually get my card.
But people that genuinely complain will be
attended to before the elections.”
In March 2014, at the ceremony marking his 77th birthday
in Abeokuta, Obasanjo stated that he did not know his real
age.
He had said,
“There are those of us like me who have no real
record of birth. I want to thank God once again for
what He has done in my life. Whether I know the
exact date of my birth or not, I think God has made
my path glorious."
“I was actually born on Ifo market day because according
to my mother, she had prepared to go to the Ifo Market and
Ifo market was every five days. And then she was in labour,
before those who went to Ifo market could come back, I
was born. I know and she knew I was born on Ifo market
day. Don’t ask me what year or month.”
