Obasanjo visits Abdulsalami Abubakar, says he doesn’t have preferred presidential candidate
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he doesn’t have a preferred presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Obasanjo said this when he visited former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar in Minna on Sunday.
Obasanjo said he came to visit Abdulsalami who was indisposed.
“I don’t have a special candidate for the 2023 presidential election but rather, I have a National Agenda,” he declared.
Chief Obasanjo who arrived in a Black Jeep with plate Number Kaduna DKA 621FQ at exactly 12.30pm on Sunday drove straight first to General Abdulsalami’s residence where they had a closed door meeting for about 30 minutes.
He thereafter addressed journalists after the meeting.
“I have come to see my brother who was indisposed and when he was abroad I had wanted to visit him but unfortunately, I missed him because the day I arrived in London to visit him was the day he left.
“So I said 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,” Obasanjo added.
Obasanjo had last week led the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to meet with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike in London.
He had also earlier in the month received the presidenrial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in his Abeokuta residence.
