ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar says he saved former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s life while Obasanjo was in prison by warning him about an alleged planned injection. Atiku claims he leaked information about the injection, which he says could have killed Obasanjo, and urged him not to accept it.
Atiku also alleges that a similar approach was used in the case of late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, who died in prison in 1997. In the interviews, he links his accusations to his political fallout with Obasanjo, saying Obasanjo later turned against him after Atiku opposed Obasanjo’s reported third-term ambition. The reports present Atiku’s statements without independent verification of the injection claims.
