However, Opeseitan narrated how Obasanjo’s regime moved against Adenuga, using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“The most vindictive government for Dr. Adenuga remains the Olusegun Obasanjo regime, which even forced him to go into self-exile. From various reports, Obasanjo wanted him (Dr. Adenuga) to implicate General Babangida and lie to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that the General owns Globacom. ‘Once you confirm that to Nuhu, everything will be fine’, he was instructed.
“At that time, Nuhu Ribadu was the Chairman of EFCC. Adenuga couldn’t understand why anyone would want him to lie against himself over his own business. Adenuga refused. He was hounded out of town and the rest is now history.
“For General Babangida, that was a commendable act of courage by Adenuga for refusing to accede to a trumped-up charge to implicate him (Babangida), ruin his reputation, and then possibly give his traducers the weapon they need to prosecute him,” Opeseitan said.
