I am also going to give my verdict when I write my book.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> That he (Obasanjo) does not know about the pact with the AD governors is far from the fact. To correct him, it was July 2002, he (Obasanjo) came to the graduation at UNILAG, we met at the office of the old Head of State. It was there that he almost went on his knees that we, the AD governors, should support his second term ambition.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “We (AD governors) told him that we were not the founding fathers of AD. We told Abraham Adesanya but he said he would never go to Abuja. He later agreed that he would meet us at the presidential lodge.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Abraham Adesanya never met him at Abuja but at the slightest notice Obasanjo came to Abuja. Adesanya told him (Obasanjo) that he heard he was going to ambush us (AD governors). Present that day was Bishop Gbonigi, the Awujale and Cornelius.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Osoba, who has decamped to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) explained that “I am shocked and surprised that he wrote in his book where he said he knew nothing about the Third Term Agenda which he said God would have given him if he had asked God.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Commenting on the book, <b>Watch the Watcher, </b>he said “It is an event to put the records straight. Many aspects of the book written by President Olusegun Obasanjo needs correction. He was at the centre of all the negotiations to broker a political agreement between Alliance for Democracy and the Peoples Democratic Party in 2003. For him to say he knew nothing about it, I totally disagree with him because the final meeting with him was attended by highly placed Nigerians, a highly placed royal father, the Awujale, Pa Adesanya, Bishop Gbonigi, Bishop Ladigbolu, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, all the governors and a host of others.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Speaking further, he said “for him (Obasanjo) to say that he knew nothing about the arrangement between AD for which he aborted and rigged the election is totally incorrect. The book he wrote, is too voluminous, I don’t want to comment on other aspects because it is a very heavy book to read.”</div>
