Ahead of the 2023 elections, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that that he has no preferred candidate among the candidates vying for the office of the president.
Recall that Obasanjo recently met with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Bola Tinubu, in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Last Thursday, August 25, he met with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; and the governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, in London.
The meeting was also attended by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State; Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; and a former governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke, among others.
But speaking yesterday in Minna, Niger State, while visiting a former Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, the former president said he only has a national agenda and no preferred candidate.
“I don’t have a special candidate, I have a national agenda,” the former Nigerian leader said.
On his mission to Minna, Obasanjo said he was on a visit to “my brother” who had been indisposed.
“I came to see my brother who has been a little indisposed. I had planned to visit him when he was still in London, but the day I arrived in London was the day he returned home.
“So that is why I decided to come and see him at home. He is very special, so I had to come.
“If there is anyone who is indisposed, I will visit, and I am still strong.”
