Gowon Reveals Plea to Abacha: How Obasanjo’s Life Was Saved

The Untold Story: Gowon’s Intervention That Saved Obasanjo

Former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has shared how he intervened to prevent the execution of Olusegun Obasanjo by General Sani Abacha during the 1995 coup trial.

Gowon recounted pleading with Abacha, emphasizing Obasanjo’s value and urging leniency.
