  • Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that his inability to keep quiet on national and international issues led to his imprisonment in 1995.

  • Obasanjo stated that his desire to prevent Nigeria from collapsing motivated him to run for president in 1999.

  • The former president also commented on African debts, lamenting that some debts were incurred due to recklessness and corruption.

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has disclosed that his inability to keep quiet on national and international issues led to his imprisonment in 1995.

Obasanjo made this known during an interactive session with 15 young men and women selected from across the continent.

According to Obasanjo, “I joined the Army, and at the age of 42, I finished my career as a military officer. Going into Prison is really a challenge because I refuse to keep quiet. For me, if there is anything to comment on, I did comment on them, and so, I landed in prison, and that is a challenge.”
