Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that his eldest daughter, Iyabo, told him he was going to die in office. He also said his daughter said if that should happen, she would not weep for him.
The former President said he, nevertheless, replied his daughter that such weeping or no weeping would not mean anything to him since he would not be there to appreciate it.
On how he became President in 1999, Obasanjo said: “My mind was almost made up (to vie for the position of President) but I had to consult with my children. I got four of them together in New York.
“I told them I was going to decide whether to go into politics or not. Iyabo was the most antagonistic. She burst out loudly, ‘I know you will JOIN and you will die there and if you die, I will not weep'.
