Obasanjo Engineered June 12 Annulment – Former Chief of Defence Staff
A former chief of defence staff has explained in the details on who engineered the June 12 annulment game.
According to him, he said, the If I’m to tell you, He (Obasanjo) was the one who engineered the last annulment. If he likes, let him take me to court.”
“I will remind him that some people were still alive when trouble started in AD. When we went to bury the father of our late friend, Alhaji Musa Yar’Adua, in Katsina, we flew back, (from Katsina) with him (Obasanjo) after which he went back to Abuja.
“We met in a guest house with some people to prepare some papers with the likes of late Chief Anthony Anenih and some other people that I don’t want to name, so as not to embarrass them. They prepared a document calling for the establishment of an Interim National Government during the heat of the June 12, 1993 Presidential Election.
“They took it to Ibrahim (Babangida). They were on his (Babangida’s) throat urging him to sign the document to establish the Interim Government. I saw his signature and I saw the comments that he made. They (Obasanjo and others) now began to state that the elections will not stay,”
