Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he became who he is today due to the moral virtues and sound education impacted on him by the Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Abiola won the 1993 presidential election but the then-military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida, annulled the election before he was formally declared the winner.
“If not for Nigerian bad belle, M.K.O. Abiola would have been President, and with me as President, we would have needed one more old student of BBHS to be President for us to permanently locate it in BBHS after three times. And that is a challenge for the up-and-coming generations of old boys.
