2023: Again, Obasanjo speaks on Peter Obi, third agenda

After publicly endorsing the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has downplayed speculations of him joining the presidential campaign.

While at a virtual engagement organised by the Africa Leadership Group, Obasanjo said he’s not a member of any political party, hence would not belong to any campaign train.

However, Obasanjo said: “I am not on the campaign train. I have used the benefit of my experience and put things plainly.

“I do not belong to any political party. I will not join any campaign train. I have said what is best for the country.”

The former president also refuted claims that he wanted a third term as President of the country.

Obasanjo said he would have had it if he had wanted it.

Obasanjo said, “I never asked for a third term. If I wanted a third term, I would have got it. I am audacious enough to know how to get it.”
