The federal government last night dismissed as frivolous allegation by
ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo that government had placed him on a watch
list preparatory to terminating his life.
Government said it has no intention of framing up the ex-president or any Nigerian for that matter.
Information and Culture Minister, Lai Mohammed, in a response to the allegation, said government will not be distracted by the “frivolous allegation”, which, according to him, was choreographed to achieve a purpose.
He wondered why the alarm came soon after President Muhammadu Buhari decided to honour the late winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, Chief M.K.O. Abiola.
