Obansanjo made the call at the ongoing 2019 Africa Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) on Thursday in Moscow Russia. He said Nigeria had no justifiable reason why it had not signed the agreement as countries like Eritrea, Niger and even Benin that were our neighbors had signed. “ I believe we have enjoyed the time of delay but of course we have no choice than to sign it. According to Obasanjo, Nigeria supposedly did the AFCTA negotiation from Egypt with a Nigerian minister actually leading the negotiation. On corruption, Obasanjo said it was not defined only on when money, goods and services were involved.
