I’m Alive, Says Obasanjo…debunks Death Rumour by matoyeh(m): 8:16pm On Aug 09, 2010 |
ABEOKUTA – Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Monday, refuted the rumour that he had been shot dead by assassins. “I dey kampe,” meaning ‘I am alive and well’, said Obasanjo jocularly in pidgin English in a telephone interview. “This morning I went to do community work at Pakoto near Ifo. “I have since returned to Abeokuta and have attended a meeting on the (Presidential) library”, Obasanjo said. He thanked all those who had expressed concern over his safety, adding that in the belief of his Yoruba people, it meant that he still has many more years to live. Confusion today gripped the nation particularly residents of Ogun State following the rumor that the former President was assassinated by unknown gunmen in his private residence, Obasanjo Hill Top, in Abeokuta, broke today and had spread across the land. The confusion reached its climax when all efforts of the Journalists in the State at getting across the Ota farmer through his phone proved abortive at the initial stage. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo with his daughter, Esther during her engagement ceremony held Saturday, in Abeokuta. But the former president who spoke to Journalists in a telephone interview debunked the rumor as he explained that he was calling from his office in Agbeloba, Abeokuta North Local Government area of Ogun State. In was learnt that relatives in the neighboring states , especially Lagos and Oyo States were already calling their Relations in the Capital city to find out if the former President had been murdered. Obasanjo, on Saturday, gave out the hand of one of his daughters, Miss Bunmi, in marriage in Abeokuta, the occasion which was attended by dignitaries across and beyond the shore of Nigeria. The Ota farmer, who described the rumor as mere fallacy confirmed the rumor about his death, saying “I also heard that I am dead, I am alive.” According to him, “Thank you for taking the trouble to find out, I think you can recognize my voice, I am in my office at Agbeloba, thank you for taking time to find out. I also heard that I am dead, I am alive.”

I like the man sha! With all his short comings, he still have one good quality that stands him out among his peers and that is his ability to stand firm on issues no matter whose horse is gored. He is not a sitting on the fence guy. Every family needs a senior elder for advice and counseling i believe Nigeria as a family still needs people like obj. May God grant him more years. |
