The former lawmaker noted that Nnamani, who presided over the Senate during the period, remains the only living figure with firsthand knowledge of the events.
Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani has revealed the only person who can confirm or deny that former President Olusegun Obasanjo wanted a third term.
According to him, only former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, can credibly confirm or deny whether lawmakers were bribed during the controversial third term bid under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Sani stated this on Monday in a post on X.
The former lawmaker noted that Nnamani, who presided over the Senate during the period, remains the only living figure with firsthand knowledge of the events.
He said: “The only credible person alive who can confirm or deny that the members of the National Assembly have been ‘bribed’ to alter the constitution and allow for ‘the third term’ tenure extension for Obasanjo is none other than Senator Ken Nnamani, the then Senate President.”
Sani’s comment comes amid Obasanjo’s recent denial of attempting to secure a third term in office.
The former president, speaking last week at the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation Democracy Dialogue in Accra, Ghana, insisted no Nigerian can prove he sought a tenure extension.
