"If I wanted a third term, I know how to go about it. And there is
nothing I wanted that God has not given me. So, if I wanted a third

He said those who spoke about his alleged move to secure a third term,
including his then deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, have never mentioned
that he discussed the issue with anyone or the name of anyone but have
only said they knew there was a plan for tenure elongation.

He said the bill was initiated by the National Assembly, adding that the
then Chairman of the joint committee of the National Assembly on the
review of the constitution, Senator Ibrahim Mantu, never said he
initiated or mandated the committee to include the clause in the
proposed amendment.
He added: “There is no one that is close to me that can say I even mentioned to him that I was interested in a third term.”

Nigeria have thier opinion and whatever that interview is meant to achieve really does not count. Not like 'BABA' really cares what Nigerians think...he has lived through his tenure. Nigerians have other things to worry about than verify if Obasanjo orchestrated the 3rd term or not.
