How I rehabilitated Obasanjo, former Nigerian president goes down memory lane
A former Nigerian military leader, Abdulsalami Abubakar, has said that he was instrumental to Olusegun Obasanjo's rehabilitation after he later left prison.
Abubakar recalled that Obasanjo's release from prison came about when he took over the government in 1998.
The ex-military head of state noted that he pleaded with Obasanjo to drop his planned lawsuit against the government at the time.
Abdulsalami opens up on allegation of imposing Obasanjo on Nigerians as president in 1999
Abdulsalami Abubakar has debunked the claim that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was imposed on Nigerians by his administration.
The ex-military head of state said his administration heeded the demands to hand over power to civilians because of Nigeria's unity.
According to Abdulsalami, he never wanted to be in power for more than six because he believed they could not throw all that sweat expended to keep Nigeria as one during the civil war away.
