I Was Made President Through Abubarka’s Conspiracy Theory – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has
revealed that
former head of state, General Abdulsalami
Abubakar, “conspired with others” to
make him president in 1999.



He added that he was granted pardon for
an offence he did not commit.




Abubakar had pardoned Obasanjo over a
fathom military coup allegation by late
General Sani Abacha and incarceration in
prison for months.



Speaking at the opening ceremony of the
Niger State Investment and Economic
Summit in Minna, the former president
said he was innocent of the allegations.



“I was going on with my life ‘jeje’ (easily)
in the prison when General Abdulsalami
Abubakar
decided to get me out.



“He did not stop at that but also decided
to grant me pardon and conspired with
others to send me to the presidency,” he
said.
