 ‘I Sent My Wife With a Letter' - Gowon Narrates How He Begged Abacha for Obasanjo's Life


Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd), said he pleaded with late Gen. Sani Abacha not to execute former President Olusegun Obasanjo for an alleged coup plot in 1995.

"I wrote a letter to Abacha; I pleaded with him that God made him a leader to do good and not evil. I sent my wife with the letter in the middle of the night to Abacha in Abuja; I pleaded with him that such a thing should not happen.

"I'm glad that soon after that, things changed.

And not only that Obasanjo left prison, he became our president in 1999.


"This is something that only prayers and sincerity can do. I'm happy that today myself and Obasanjo are here to celebrate the unity of Plateau," Gowon said at the maiden edition of the Interdenominational Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival organised by the Plateau Government.


Recall that Obasanjo was arrested in 1995 by Abacha and convicted of being part of a planned coup to overthrow his government.
