African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has recounted how he saved former President Olusegun Obasanjo from death in prison.
Atiku said in an interview that he leaked information about an impending injection that could have killed Obasanjo.
He said the then military junta did the same to the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.
Atiku stated that when he learnt about the plan, he warned Obasanjo not to allow the injection.
He said, “I saved Obasanjo’s life in prison by leaking information about an impending injection that could have killed him.
“They did the same to Yar’Adua, and when I learnt they planned to do it to him, I warned him not to allow the injection.
“Today, he wants the world to hate me because I opposed his third-term ambition.”
Atiku was Vice President to Obasanjo from 1999 to 2007.
