2. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
You will be toying with your political career and destiny, if you ignore him in the game of political gerrymandering in this country.
With Obasanjo, Nigeria’s former military head of state (1976-1979) and, later, civilian President (1999 – 2007), the more you look, the less you see.
People say he is selfish, mean and mischievous. The truth of it depends on who is assessing him. But love him or hate him, even at 79, you cannot ignore OBJ as an inimitable power broker in today’s Nigeria.
It was for nothing that he was bestowed with that all-encompassing title: Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR).
