2023 Presidency: I’ve National Agenda, No Special Candidate – Obasanjo

Amid sustained rumours of his endorsement and kind words of encouragement for some presidential candidates, former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday said there is no special candidate for him going into the 2023 elections.

He told journalists after visiting former Head of State, Abdulsalam Abubakar at his Uphill residence in Minna, the Niger State capital on Sunday that all he has on his plate represents a national agenda to be unveiled soon.

“I do not have a special candidate. I only have a national agenda” he said explaining that he was in Minna to see General Abdulsalam who had been indisposed for sometime

Saying that the former leader was very special to him, Chief Obasanjo said; “I came to see my brother who has been a little indisposed. When he was in London, I had wanted to visit him but the day I arrived in London was the day he left.

“So, that is why I decided to come and see him at home. He is very special and I am still strong to visit those who are special to me”.

Obasanjo arrived at Abdulsalam’s Uphill residence at 12.30 pm and after greetings with Abdulsalam’s family, he had a closed-door meeting with the former Head of State which lasted over 30 minutes, and finally departed at about 1.13 pm.
