Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has debunked the report making the rounds that he is supporting the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Obasanjo noted that he does not have a preferred candidate among those contesting for the 2023 presidential election.
The former president disclosed this on Sunday, August 28th, 2022 in Minna, Niger State on his visit to former Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar.
Obasanjo said; “I don’t have a special candidate, I have a national agenda.”
“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.”
“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.”
For those who don’t know, Obasanjo had days ago met with Peter Obi in the company of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and some of his PDP counterparts in London as seen in the picture above.
It was also reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had also visited Obasanjo in his home ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
