Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo would have been celebrating his wife, Stella Obasanjo’s 71st birthday now but she is no more.
The elegant First Lady was born on November 14, 1945 but died before her 60th birthday on October 23 2005.
She died in Spain where she went for a cosmetic procedure that later had complications. The surgery was scheduled towards the commemoration of her 60th birthday, which she had planned for and sent invites out.
In his autobiography, My Watch, which was released on December 8, 2015, the former President talked about his late spouse.
“After the interment, I decided to look into the circumstances of her death,” Mr. Obasanjo wrote on page 240 of Volume two of the book. “I found that part of her 60th birthday anniversary, which was unknown to me, was her operation for her tummy and her shape.”
He also commented on rumours that the late First Lady’s death was a ‘ritual’ he had to undergo to become successful as the then President of Nigeria.
