Obasanjo came into the national consciousness when in 1970 he received on behalf of Nigeria the surrendered baton from Biafran soldiers, a historic development that signaled the end of civil war after three years of huge human carnage and destruction of properties particularly in the eastern part of the country.

Meanwhile, his romance with the national leadership indeed came in 1975 when a military coup swept away General Yakubu Gowon from office. Obasanjo subsequently emerged as one of the ruling triumvirates. Six months later, he indeed assumed leadership of the Nigerian government when the head of that triumvirate was assassinated.
