Obasanjo: Why I think Raila is the best candidate for AU Chairperson job

"Raila is a friend of many years. When I went to Kisumu to bury his father Jaramogi and was charged with treason back in my country Nigeria because the government said I wanted to topple the government of Nigeria and Kenya. Oginga was the leader of the opposition," Obasanjo remarked, which highlighted the depth of their friendship.

The former Nigerian president revealed that his involvement in the talks between Raila and Ruto led to a significant development that allowed the country to go back to normalcy.
