Days After Meeting The Top 3 Presidential Candidates, Obasanjo Speaks On Preferred Candidate 

Former Nigeria’s President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday disclosed that he does not have a special candidate in the forthcoming presidential election but that he only has a national agenda.

This was coming precisely three days after his meeting with PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress and Peter Obi of Labour Party in London.

Obasanjo made the recent statement when he paid a visit to former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) in Minna.

Chief Obasanjo who was responding to questions by Journalists said what he is doing was a national agenda.

Accordingly, he said, “I don’t have a special candidate, I have a national agenda”.

In his words, “I have come to see my brother who was a bit indisposed and when he was abroad I had wanted to visit him, and the day I arrived in London to visit him was the day he left.

“So I said, well since I could not see him in London, I will come to see him in Nigeria. And so, that is what I have come to do.

“He is special in a way and he was indisposed, so I had to come and see him. If there is anybody again who is special and indisposed that I have to see, I will see him. I am still strong enough.”

The duo earlier had a closed door meeting which lasted for 30 minutes.
