Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed how his penchant for commenting on national and international issues landed him in jail under the military junta of the late Head of State, Gen. Sanni Abacha, in 1995.
Obasanjo also hinted that the quest to save Nigeria from an imminent disintegration made him to seek the Presidency in 1999.
He spoke during an interactive session with 15 young male and female future Africa leaders drawn from different parts of the continent at his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State.
