Oshiomhole said this during the post inauguration/thank you party hosted in his honour by friends and well-wishers at his country home, Iyamho, Etsako, Edo, on Saturday.
If you have voted against me, I don’t know my blood pressure will now be 240/0360, that is if I’m still alive.

It was so thick that in my14-page (two pages daily) Special Series appraisal on Obasanjo’s first term for Daily Independent stable, I reported in the final offering on the last Sunday in May 2004 that a plot was on to elongate Obasanjo’s stay as President, and that it “will fail”.
