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.”
