In his controversial
new autobiography titled, ‘My Watch’, former President Olusegun Obasanjo said
he didn’t know that his late wife, former First lady Stella Obasanjo had been
planning to undergo a tummy tuck to mark her 60th.
On page 240 in Volume
two of his book, Obasanjo said it was after she had died on October 23rd 2005
in Spain that he found out what really killed her. What he said after the cut…
“After the internment,
I decided to look into the circumstances of her death. I found that part of her
60th birthday anniversary, which was unknown to me, was her operation for her tummy
and her shape.”
The former President
said through the help of the Nigerian Embassy in Spain, he was able to get
justice for his wife who according to him, died due to
the cosmetic surgeon’s carelessness
“I instructed that the
doctor and the clinic be prosecuted. The lost life cannot be brought back but
the successful prosecution would prevent carelessness and loss of life in the
future”.
He said the doctor was
made to pay damages which was collected by Olu, Stella’s only child and the
doctor’s license withdrawn.
He also addressed
insinuations that he used his wife as a sacrifice for his success in office
“Before the verdict in
Spain, I was unaware of what I came to hear later that I might have caused the
death of my wife to sacrifice her for success in my job. That is how wicked and
satanic some Nigerians can be in their rumors and mischief.” he said
