Why I chose Yar'Adua as my successor - Olusegun Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says he chose late Yar'Adua as his successor because the other politicians available at that time were corrupt. According to him, one of those who wanted to succeed him was 'stinkingly corrupt'. He gave his reasons during an interview with Channels TV yesterday July 15th
"Even if you take your son as your successor, you are not sure of what he will do when he gets there. Don’t ever kid yourself. What do I know about any successor? What he presents. When he gets there, he presents it differently. We did our best, but if you say our best is not good enough, I will say, when it comes to your turn, do better.
