Obasanjo Finally Revealed His Preferred Presidential Candidate

Obasanjo finally revealed his preferred presidential candidate 

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that nobody threaten him over his choice of a presidential candidate.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has stated that no one can scare him over his choice of a presidential candidate amid rumors that he had endorsed Peter Obi, the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate.

Obasanjo said he had shed blood and gone to prison; hence nobody could threaten him about his choice of a presidential candidate.

At the Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Secretariat in Enugu State, he made this disclosure.

Pa Ayo Adebanjo, the president of Afenifere, and Obi had accompanied Obasanjo on his visit to the Secretariat.

Peter Obi is my Candidate, Nobody can threaten me over my preferred candidate – Obasanjo

They paid their respects at the Secretariat following the passing of First Republic Aviation Minister Mbazulike Amaechi.

However, Obasanjo said: “I have shed my blood for this country. I have gone to prison for this country.

“So, what are you going to frighten or threaten me with? The only thing that my senior brother (Adebanjo) hasn’t done is that he hasn’t shed his blood but he has gone to prison but we will leave that aside.”

He said Nigeria’s problem was more national than ethnic.

The former president lamented that Nigeria was yet to have a leader with the right type of character.

“The problem we have in our hands in Nigeria is not ethnic. It is national. And for me, the most important thing in a leader is character.

“If I put my hand on someone, it means that comparing with the other, I see that there is a merit that will be of benefit to Nigeria,” he said.
