Nigeria former President , Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday declared that he would not die before his due time, saying that the incident in Ekiti State on Wednesday in which he was speculated to have fainted and subsequently died yesterday was the seventh time his death would be rumoured.
Obasanjo was rumoured to have slumped during the 70th Birthday thanksgiving service organised by Chief Olu Bajowa in Ekiti State.
My words to Nigerians are that wishes are not horses, if people wish and God does not make it happen, there is nothing that can be done to make it happen by any mortals. I think people take delight in speculation and rumours, Obasanjo said.
The former Nigerian Leader said it was one of his friend that broke the news of his death to him yesterday. Obasanjo who spoke to journalist at his Presidential Hilltop in Abeokuta yesterday while narrating how he was choked during the birthday ceremony, said lack of enough ventilation arising from lack of air-conditioners and fans, forced him to retire to his car to feel some breeze of air-conditioners.
He said after staying there for about three minutes, he felt okay and later went to his host’s house for breakfast. he was given two pieces of banana which he ate and then returned to the church to continue the event.
I was shocked when i read in the newspapers that i slumped. I think it is part of the gimmick of selling newspapers. Obasanjo added.
