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.

July 16, 2015 President Obama to Break US Tradition Because of Buhari In demonstration of his readiness to forge closer ties with Nigeria, United States President Barack Obama will be breaking his administration’s tradition when President Muhammadu Buhari arrives in Washington D.C. on a state visit on Monday next week. The American leader will host President Buhari as his personal guest at the Blair House, the official guest house of the American president right opposite the White House, for three days. This is a clear departure from the American government’s attitude to visiting heads of state, particularly Nigerian leaders.  It is also a demonstration of Obama’s admiration of President Buhari and a thumbs-up for the Nigerian leader’s acclaimed frugal lifestyle and disdain for ostentation. The decision to host President Buhari in the official guest house of the US president will not only cut down the cost of the trip, but also allow time for informal discussions...
