Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says picking a running mate when he wanted to become Nigeria’s president in 1999 is one of the mistakes in his life.
Obasanjo spoke on Saturday during a leadership mentoring session with selected students in Abeokuta, Ogun state.
He however said God saved him from the mistake because it was a “genuine” one.
“One thing that has happened to me is that God has never disappointed me and that is very important. For instance, one of the mistakes I made was picking a number two when I was going to become president. But because it is a genuine mistake, God saved me out of it,” the former president said.
