Late President Yar'Adua deceived me - Gen. Obasanjo

At the launch of his autobiography, ‘’My Watch’’ former President Obasanjo revealed that some PDP governors were behind his failed third term project because of what they were to benefit from it.

 

Obasanjo at the Lagos Country Club Ikeja Lagos where the book was launched said he was not afraid to tell the truth.  And that all what he wrote in the book was the truth.

 

According to him, “People say that it was obvious that I wanted a third term and I ask those who say I was behind the third term to bring concrete evidence to prove that I spearheaded it. I have presented evidence in my book that proves that I was not behind it, even though I knew about it. Some governors were the ones behind it because they felt the governors would benefit from it. If people say that it was obvious that I wanted a third term, they should present concrete evidence to the public that I am telling a lie. I have evidence to prove that everything I wrote is true and anyone that feels otherwise should present concrete evidence to prove his point.  “Third term was not my agenda or intention although I would not say I didn’t know about it. I didn’t mastermind third term. Those who were telling me to go on were the governors that were going to benefit from it.”
