FORMER Vice President Atiku Abubakar, says he once saved President Olusegun Obasanjo from untimely death while the one-time military ruler was in prison.
Atiku – a presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, who revealed this information during a chat with journalists, also claimed that the people behind the attempted murder of Obasanjo did the same thing to late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua.
“I saved Obasanjo’s life in prison by leaking information about an impending injection that could have killed him,’’ Atiku said.
“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,’’ he added.
The former Vice President however, expressed shock that Obasanjo is inciting Nigerians against him.
“Today, he wants the world to hate me because I opposed his third-term ambition,” Atiku said.
