This volume 2 is a sequel to volume 1. After returning home from an over three and half jail term of Abacha Military Regime phantom coup, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo answered the strong and active demand of many responsible Nigerians to save the country from the doldrums Abacha had plunged Nigeria into. He knew that most of the legacies he left as Military Head of State are no more there. They have been lost in the fire of leadership insensitivity, executive arrogance, and institutional lawlessness. He picked up the pieces of his life, rehabilitate his family, business, and other undertakings. But before he could parcel his life into meaningful packages, pressures and appeals started to mount on him from many directions to safe Nigeria and contest for the presidential election. After consulting with Nigerians of all classes Obasanjo plunged into politics and registered as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Running on the ticket of PDP, he was elected twice as the President of Nigeria. “Within the space of eight years Obasanjos’s administration transformed Nigeria from a pariah state into one counted and wooed by almost all countries. Politics was established, the economy bloomed, poverty was controlled and drastically r educed, corruption was fiercely battled and ceased to be a way of life or be engaged in with impunity.”
