Bugaje Counters Obasanjo's Denial of Third Term Bid, Alleges Coercion Tactics

In a recent dialogue, former Nigerian President Obasanjo denied seeking a third term in office, dismissing claims of using money and threats to extend his tenure. However, Dr. Bugaje countered Obasanjo's statement, alleging that Obasanjo had indeed attempted to secure a third term through various means, including intimidation tactics.

Bugaje, a former National Assembly member, claimed firsthand knowledge of the events and highlighted instances of coercion and bribery to influence lawmakers. The conflicting narratives shed light on the contentious issue of presidential term limits and power dynamics within Nigerian politics.
