The former military head disclosed this at centenary celebration of the Baptist High School, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

He said Abiola, a product of BBHES was denied his mandate.

He explained that the school molded the late sage, Obafemi Awolowo, former judged of the International Court of Justice, Prince Bola Ajibola, among others into what they all became in life.

Awolowo was at BBHS in 1928, Ajibola graduated in 1955; Abiola was among the 1956 set, while Obasanjo left the school in 1957 according to the report.

Obasanjo stated further that apart from education, the 100-year-old school had , at different times , instilled godly virtue in all its products.

He said, “without BBHS, I would not have been what I am today.”
