Obasanjo had reportedly warned the UK authorities against interference.
The erstwhile nation’s leader allegedly said that in 2002, the British government wanted to remove him and put a Fulani man whom they could control in power, but they were not successful.
Obasanjo allegedly told the UK that the problems Nigeria is facing are a result of the Fulani man they imposed.
Reacting to the allegations via a statement made on Thursday night by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo denied the letter.
“The trending story on the alleged plan by the former President to collude with the electoral body in the Presidential election of February 25 is completely false”, he noted.
The spokesperson added that apart from the January 1 letter to youths and the other to Prof. Toyin Falola on his 70th birthday, “there has been no other public or private letter written to anybody.”
“The reading public is for the umpteenth time reminded that only a statement duly signed by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo or by his Media Assistant, Kehinde Akinyemi to be allowed into the media space.
