I had travelled the previous day to Oko from Lagos, after a firm arrangement had been put in place by his aides for the interview. Obasanjo and Ekwueme were the two top contenders for the PDP ticket and it was only fair that both be given equal space in The Guardian. Our experience the previous week with Obasanjo showed a man who was still trying to overcome his unfortunate prison experience. Beyond his accomplishments as man with several degrees in diverse fields and a very successful architect, Ekwueme, she said, was NEVER a corrupt man. Such was his domineering presence that though he was naturally a quiet man, he was always a noticeable man everywhere he went to.
