2023: Obasanjo speaks on a preferred presidential candidate

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday spoke on supporting a presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

The former Nation’s leader stated that he has no preferred candidate among those contesting the 2023 presidential election.

Obasanjo, who stated this in Minna on Sunday when he paid former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar a visit, said he does not have a preferred candidate.

The elder statesman, however, stated that he only has a national agenda, not a preferred candidate.

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

The former President further stated that he was in Minna to visit Abubakar who had been indisposed.

Obasanjo said, “I came to see my brother who has been a little indisposed. I had plans 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.”

The former President arrived at Abubakar’s residence at 12:30 and left at 1:13 pm.

There had been speculations that Obasanjo is supporting the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
