How Jonathan became Nigeria's vice president, Obasanjo reveals
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the former Nigerian leader had revealed how Goodluck Jonathan became Nigeria's vice president in 2007.
Obasanjo on Sunday, January 31, disclosed that the slot was originally for Peter Odili, the former governor of Rivers, but he lost the opportunity because of a corruption allegation against him from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He added that this made Odili lose out dramatically at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s national convention in Abuja.
The former Nigerian leader went on to state that the then-president, Musa Yar’Adua, went for the second option, Jonathan, who at the time had everything working well for him, including a clean record.
