Obasanjo reacts to reports of surviving Ethiopian Plane Crash

False alert!

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has reacted to reports of him surviving what could have been a plane crash in Lagos on Wednesday.

Obasanjo denied being on board the Boeing 777-300 aircraft Ethiopian flight that encountered bad weather while landing at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Obasanjo, while making the clarification through his spokesperson, Kehinde Akinyemi, said he didn’t travel, let alone board the flight.

Akinyemi said Obasanjo had been in his home in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

NAN had reported Obasanjo was on the plane as he was returning from a stakeholders’ dialogue on Continental Trade and Strengthening Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which ended on Tuesday in Addis Ababa.
