Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has dropped a bombshell.

He said: “I have shed my blood for this country. I have gone to prison for this country.”

“So, what are you going to frighten or threaten me with? The only thing that my senior brother (Adebanjo) hasn’t done is that he hasn’t shed his blood but he has gone to prison but we will leave that aside.”

“The problem we have in our hands in Nigeria is not ethnic. It is national. And for me, the most important thing in a leader is character.”

“If I put my hand on someone, it means that comparing with the other, I see that there is a merit that will be of benefit to Nigeria.”

Obasanjo made the revelation when he visited the Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Secretariat in Enugu State.

Obasanjo visited the Secretariat in the company of Afenifere’s leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo and the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
