The papers are awashed this morning with the news on Pastor Adeboye's comment on the third term bid of Obasanjo.

According to Pastor Adeboye, "when our former president wanted to run for a third term, he avoided me, throughout the period.'' Adeboye added that he was indeed friendly with Obasanjo and had assured him before he was elected in 1999 that he would be President.

Also, when there was a plan to impeach Obasanjo during the first term, Adeboye said he told him he would even get a second term. But when the plot for third term started, the former leader started to avoid him.

The General Overseer of the RCCG Worldwide added that Obasanjo avoided him because the former president knew he had been silent on the third term, even though he had spoken earlier that Obasanjo would be President and would also get a second term. "But I kept quiet on the third term, " Adeboye stated, hinting that Obasanjo knew very well that he would not bless the idea of a third term against Nigeria's Constitution. (The Guardian)

Because it would have been another story altogether if it came out during OBJ's tenure!

true

The lesson i get from this is that one does not need to be Obasanjo's (the president's) close friend to influence or decide the fate of the nation.

You can shake the nation from where you are with Obasanjo staggering in it.

All it takes is one man who knows who and whose he is; and his role as a citizen in this great country Nigeria.
