Lol! Just imagine this part of the story! Who can guess who the parties are? Professor Osita Eze, the late Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, told me an interesting, probably apocryphal, story. He said when the late president of Nigeria, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, was brought back home on his sick bed from Saudi Arabia in the dead of night in February 2010, a contingent of armed soldiers surrounded the house of another prominent member of government in Abuja. In panic, the man quickly phoned his godfather, a former president of Nigeria, to seek advice as to what to do. The former president said to him: “Let me make some enquiries and then call you back.” The former president then dropped the phone, got into his private jet, and quickly ran away to Togo.
