Atiku Abubakar Claims He Saved Obasanjo from Injection

Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress presidential candidate, stated that he intervened to save former President Olusegun Obasanjo from an alleged deadly injection while both were imprisoned. In an interview, Atiku revealed that he leaked information regarding the planned injection, advising Obasanjo against allowing it to be administered.

He drew parallels to a similar situation involving the late General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, asserting that he had warned Yar’Adua not to accept an injection that could have endangered his life. Atiku expressed that despite his actions to protect Obasanjo, the former president now seeks to portray him negatively due to Atiku's opposition to Obasanjo's third-term ambition.

This revelation underscores the complex political dynamics and personal relationships within Nigeria's political landscape.
