The two generals are seen as the best of friends across the political spectrum of the Nigerian nation. In many informed circles, General Matthew Okikiola Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo and General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida are seen as belonging to the rarefied class known as “Owners of Nigeria”.
Only the uninformed
does not know that when there was the transition to civil rule back in 1999 it
was Babangida who arranged that Obasanjo should be brought out of General Sani
Abacha’s prison to be made the president of Nigeria.
This act made Obasanjo to create the record of a two-time leader of Nigeria after having been a military Head of State in his first missionary journey.
