Former President Olusegun Obasanjo said
on Wednesday that he chose the late former President Umaru Yar’ Adua as
his successor because the others who wanted the post were corrupt.
More after the cut.....................
Obasanjo said one of the people who
wanted to succeed him in 2007 was “stinkingly corrupt” and that the only
way he (Obasanjo) could justify himself before man and God was to go
for Yar’Adua, who, he said, was the only one among the contenders then
who was not corrupt.
The former President, who spoke in an interview with a private television station, Channels Television, in Abeokuta, did not mention the ‘corrupt’ Yar’Adua rivals.
Among
the prominent presidential hopefuls in the Peoples Democratic Party in
2007 were Obasanjo’s deputy, Abubakar Atiku; and ex-Governor of Rivers
State, Peter Odili.
