Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has made some shocking revelations.

He said: “One of the mistakes I made was picking my number two when I wanted to become the President. But because it was a genuine mistake, God saved me.”

“The second one was when Abacha wanted to arrest me. When Abacha wanted to arrest me, I was told by the American ambassador that they would arrest me and that America had asked that I should be given an asylum. I said no. It could have been a mistake because I could have lost my life.”

“I will say there are many things that could have been a mistake but God saved me from them all.”
