“…I never took alcohol, but I once smoked a lot of cigarettes. Before and during my stint as Nigeria’s first executive president, I sometimes smoked up to 40 cigarettes a day, but during my house arrest by Buhari-Idiagbon regime, I willingly stopped smoking totally, which means I still gained something from my house arrest by Buhari-Idiagbon…”
-Alhaji Shehu Shagari, describing his house arrest by Buhari-Idiagbon regime in his autobiographical book titled “Beckoned to Serve”
