"I'm not a fool. If I really wanted a third term I would have got it... There is nothing I wanted that God did not give to me. If I truly wanted it I know how to go about it, and I would have gotten it."
Ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo told a Channels correspondent at his Hilton residence in Abeokuta, while giving account of his eight years stewardship from 1999 to 2007.
Should we really believe Chief Obasanjo that he did not directly lobby for a third term in office, considering all the news in the media then about Ghana-Must-Go bags in offices at the National Assembly?
