Lt. Col. Adeboye Obasanjo, son of former president Olusegun Obasanjo who was wounded in a fire-fight in Bazza between the military and Boko Haram terrorists on Monday, has expressed eagerness to return to the battleground as soon as he fully recovers.

The younger Obasanjo stated this on Tuesday when former vice president Atiku Abubakar paid him a visit at a government medical facility in Yola where he is receiving treatment.

He added that the former vice president praised the gallant spirit of Obasanjo, prompting him to comment that the young man inherited the trait from his former boss.

“He was even marching before me, even as he was recovering from gunshots,” Atiku reportedly said, while wishing him speedy recovery.
