This Is My Saddest Day In My Life - Obasanjo by TheHerald: 10:13am On Feb 15, 2017 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo recently revealed the saddest day of his life which was when he appeared before the military tribunal that tried him for alleged complicity in a coup against late former military dictator, Sani Abacha. While leading a morning devotion to mark Valentine’s Day at his Presidential Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun state on Tuesday, February 14, he said: “My saddest day was when I sat in front of a military panel set up by late former Head of State, Sani Abacha to try me over a phantom coup, and sentenced to death and later commuted to 30 years imprisonment.” While speaking, he also read from the Bible book of Isaiah 45:1-4 and spoke of how when the jail term was given, he had asked himself if he deserved the treatment meted to him, but that he left everything in the hand of God. “God has always been giving me immense favour beyond my own expectations and what I deserve from Him. And I used to tell people that God has been partial to me from childhood,” he said. He also revealed how following pressure from international community leaders including former American president, Jimmy Carter, the Abacha regime reduced his sentence to 15 years. However, when Abacha died, he spent only three years in prison. When he left prison, he said he met an agitation for him to contest for president, adding, “but the rest is history.” He also said: “I was born in a village and anybody born in that village would have concluded that the popularity of those born there would not go beyond the next village. My parents were complete illiterates.” Read more at http://www.herald.ng/saddest-day-life-obasanjo/#QjxFKRxr44Z0xSYe.99 |

“My saddest day was when I sat in front of a military panel set up by late former Head of State, Sani Abacha to try me over a phantom coup, and sentenced to death and later commuted to 30 years imprisonment.”And from the prison you became president,Obasanjo, God really favoured you ,but you don't favour yourself.As a matter of fact,you are the cause of the problem this country is facing now because you failed to do the needful from 1999 due to your selfishness and greediness. 1 Like |

You should always be sad. You and your evil men have hijacked this nation in the spirit world thereby, making things difficult for the people. You should be sad because you and most of the politicians have sold your soul to the devil and therefore, decided to unleash suffering on the good people. Your saddest day is still in the future. Unless you change your ways. |

As an Apostle of Jesus Christ, Life is becoming more meaningful and real to you, isn't it? That all is not a Bed of Roses. |
