Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he has no interest in partisan politics again in his life, adding that he will remain a “partyless” Nigerian while carrying the toga of a statesman. Obasanjo stated this yesterday while hosting Kogi State governor, Capt. Idris Wada of PDP, at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital. Explaining why he visited Obasanjo, Wada said, “Since we were honored as the best governor yesterday in Lagos, we deem it appropriate to come down to Abeokuta to report to our father, the little recognition we got.”
In his remarks, Obasanjo said: “Everybody is welcome but they must be with good leadership traits, and genuine intention to improve the country. We should understand first that, not the party makes the person, but the person makes the party. It is who you are that you bring into the party. Though, for now I remain a “partyless” Nigerian, but, I will continue to welcome any Nigerian with good leadership qualities. It does not matter which party you are, either, PDP, APC, Labour, APGA any party at all, as long as you a are committed, sincere and a purposeful leader, I am ready for you. And that is what our brother is doing. I pray that this country will never be short of this type of people.”
