“If you fail to redeem yourself and your country, you will have lost the opportunity and will have no one to blame but yourselves and posterity will not forgive you”, he stated.
The opposition and the ruling party were both shaken by the open announcement, which was viewed as a significant boost for Obi’s ambition.
Since then, Obasanjo has been accused of accepting inducement in some social media posts and publications.
One of his assistants, who wished to remain unnamed, refuted the allegation in a conversation with Newsmen.
He questioned why a man who served as both a military and civilian leader of the nation would sell his morality.

“I am not authorized to speak publicly but I can confirm to you that it’s all lies, fake news.
“How much does anyone have to buy a man like Obasanjo? When did speaking one’s mind become a problem?
The aide revealed the retired General groaned about the allegation when he was informed.
“Some VIPs have been calling him about it. Baba was so angry that he raised the matter.
“We checked and discovered it was one or two news sites that are not mainstream.
“We told him to ignore it because this is an election period and people will say things”, he added.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, if Obasanjo continues to be uncomfortable with the rumors, a reaction could be made.
