Obasanjo in a release by his assistant, Vitalis Ortese, said it was true he had an accident, but, he was as at yesterday, in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, where he was observing the Presidential election, which started yesterday.
It was gathered that the former President, left for the French speaking West African country after attending the 80th birthday anniversary of Chief Kessington Adebutu in Lagos and was in high spirits preparing for the elections, until he started receiving calls from family members, friends and associates expressing concern about his welfare.
The statement reads in part: “He was indeed involved in an incident on the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway, after Sagamu roundabout, while he was on his way to join in the celebrations of the 80th birthday anniversary of Chief Kessington Adebutu in Tinubu Methodist Church, Lagos.
“The vehicle, he was travelling in suffered a burst left tyre at the rear and swerved several times but did not hit any carb or any car in front or behind until it did a 180 degree turn and faced where it was coming from and he had to change vehicles.
“President Olusegun Obasanjo wishes to convey his deep appreciation to all those, who by way of calls, personal messages and prayers, and indeed members of the general public, who have shown overwhelming concern about his welfare.”
The incident occurred few hours after attending a memorial service to mark the 10th year death of his late wife and First Lady, Chief Stella Obasanjo.
The memorial service, held at the Chapel of Christ the Glorious King of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, OOPL, Abeokuta, drew attendance across the length and breath of the country.

A sign that we all must one day leave this sin-soaked planet earth. A sign that we all must set our house in order before the 'D' Day. A sign that no one is immune from mortality. A warning to always close or bridle our dirty mouths and act as if we actually believe that God in Heaven is watching us. A warning that we should treat others as we would like to be treated. His daughter, Senator Iyabo, said it all in her letter. Only if, (repeat if), he will listen! Election observer ke? In his do-or-die days would he have been observed? Abegi!
