Continuation......... Looking back, I can now see that some people didn’t want me in the villa. Why? They wanted an empire for themselves to control. I probably thought it was a joke. But you know the awesomeness of the Almighty God, everybody that was involved, was kicked out with disgrace. I am saying this publicly for young persons who are coming to learn a lesson. If you continue to plan evil for people, be ready for tons and tons of evil. Would you say internal party issues contributed to your travails and what is your relationship with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo presently? As deputy national chairman, I had good working relationship with the national chairman at that time, Dr. Ahmadu Ali. But some people have their own idea and the only way was to punish this one. Of course, Farida was brought by them. So it was easy to rope Bode George. It was just to remove me from consideration. Not knowing that the master planner was at work. Where are they now? Some of them who were the hunters then are being hunted. Once you have an opportunity to do anything for the country remember, there would be a day after. My relationship with baba? Baba will remain baba. It cannot be like before. I was baba’s man Friday in the party and I have no regret about that. Because like I always tell people, it is turn by turn Nigeria limited. You need your trusted people in certain areas in this country. Even in America. For me and baba, no love lost. Baba is no longer president, I am no longer deputy national chairman. But as an African, you must give respect to elders. I am not bitter. You remember the day we came out, at the church service, the President sent a representative. At the reception here, the first lady came. What other encouragement do you need? Do you want compensation? God has already compensated me. I don’t need compensation. The fact that I went there, came out, I didn’t suffer any disease and my faculty is still razor sharp, what other compensation? The only compensation that I need is to be able to tell other Nigerians to learn from this and to tell those in authority never to use their positions to oppress others.
