The Elephant published on 29 August 2022 a commentary titled "Resignation Is the Right and Honourable Thing for President Obasanjo to Do" by Mehari Taddele Maru, European University Institute in Florence, Italy.
Mediating the civil war in Ethiopia requires impartiality, undivided attention and freedom of action unencumbered by institutions and individual conflicts of interest. The author argues that Olusegun Obasanjo has failed the test.
