According to a report by Daily Post on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, former Abia State Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, has revealed details of an alleged political agreement involving former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, ahead of Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999.
Kalu claimed that before Obasanjo became Nigeria’s democratically elected president, an understanding had been reached that he would serve for only one four-year term and hand over power to another person from the northern part of the country in 2003.
Speaking about the arrangement, the former governor explained that the agreement involved himself, Babangida and Obasanjo. He said the plan was intended to promote political balance and maintain the understanding of power rotation between the northern and southern regions of Nigeria.
