Adeboye Obasanjo stated this when former vice
president Atiku Abubakar paid him a visit at a government medical facility in
Yola where he is receiving treatment.
The young Obasanjo, who was reportedly in high spirits despite his injuries,
is an army engineer recently deployed from Jos to join in the battle against
the insurgents. He was injured during a battle to repel the insurgents at
Michika in Adamawa State.
A source at the hospital who spoke on condition of anonymity reportedly stated that Atiku was impressed when the colonel
informed him that he was eager to get back on his feet and return to his duty
post.
He added that the former vice president praised the gallant spirit
of Obasanjo, prompting him to comment that the trait was 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.
