Though, the opposition had a pathological hatred for him while he sat at the head of the Nigerian presidency, it turned out that Obasanjo was undeniably the proverbial ‘rejected stone.’ It would be recalled that the arrowheads of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator and Bola Tinubu, who is seen by many as a civilian dictator, led the who-is-who in the opposition to woo the Balogun of the Owu Lineage at his palatial Abeokuta mansion. In his characteristic style, OBJ, as his fondly called by his admirers declared that he was the “godfather of the APC.” That singular action nailed the coffin of the APC in the hearts of many serious-minded Nigerians. Both Buhari and Tinubu had in the immediate past accused Obasanjo of ineptitude, maladmistration, and corruption. The duo turning around to go and profusely beg Obasanjo to lead them to war against Jonathan was the height of desperation.
