2023: I have no Anointed Candidate but National Agenda – Obasanjo
POLITICS DIGEST- A former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has disclosed that his recent meetings with some presidential candidates should not be mistaken as an endorsement of a particular candidate.
Obasanjo disclosed this in Minna, Niger state, after having separate closed-door meetings with the duo of former Military Presidents, General Ibrahim Babangida and General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
“I don’t have a special candidate for the 2023 presidential election but rather, I have a national agenda,” he declared.

Chief Obasanjo had at different occasions held consultations with Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and other prominent Nigerians from different political parties.
Answering questions from the journalists on his reasons for visiting General Abdulsalam, the Owu Chief swiftly replied that he had come to visit his “brother.”
“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 remarked.
The former President immediately drove to General Babangida’s residence too where they had another closed-door meeting.
