Former President Olusegun has debunked rumour making the rounds that he is planning to form a new political party ahead of the 2023 general elections.


Obasanjo said on Monday that his attention was drawn to the unfounded report published by a national newspaper, with claims that he would be picking three former governors as the coordinators.

Obasanjo, who is currently in Kabul, Afghanistan, as a guest of President Ashraf Ghani declared that this report is false, maintaining that “there was no plan to float a new political party now or in near future.”

He said that the fabricated story hardly comes as a surprise because he has, for some time now, observed with bewilderment the efforts by some people to drag him into their political games.

“In my part of the world, when you say goodnight in a place, you do not go back there and say good evening. The one who reported that may need to visit Yaba Left. And those who believe it can believe that their mothers are men.

“I’m done with partisan politics but by my position in Nigeria and in Africa and without being immodest and indeed in the world, my door must be opened and it is open to any individual or group of individuals who want to seek my opinion, view or advice on any issue or matter and I will respond to the best of my ability, without being part of that individual or group,” a statement by his media assistant, Kehinde Akinyemi, said on Monday.

Akinyemi spoke further that, “If anything, Chief Obasanjo’s political party today is the party of Nigerians facing insecurity, unemployment, hunger, poverty, and various other challenging issues. It is the party of Nigeria which must be saved, kept wholesomely united in peace, security, equity, development and progress.

“Let those who want to use the back door to force Chief Obasanjo to return to partisan politics respect his choice to remain a non-partisan statesman.”

That is it, we youth should dislodge all these old people who have made life miserable. Let us think, many of our politicians started ruling in their early 40s as governors , Commissioner or Ministers, yet they want to die there. Baba OBJ can never get enough to form a party, he can not be trusted.

APC & lies

Who cares... You lost your influence when you sold your people to the Caliphate for money.

Ohhhnnn

I knew there was no reason to believe that report. The line quoted below gave the author away with his objectives.

Wish me happy anniversary. 6 years of staying off Sahara reporters!

The source said: “Even as the name for the hybrid party has not been made public as we speak, Baba (Obasanjo) is seriously mobilising his keen loyalists and die-hard ers across the country to actualise his dream of installing a government that would be answerable to him."

He had the privilege, wherewithal and experience to put the country on the right track while he was the president.....

Did he do enough? I will leave the question to the entire Nigerians.

People kept talking about the availability of telecommunications as his huge achievements...smh...

Lol I know it's a fake news .

Lol

I thought the news media was lying again when dem kept saying the source said, source dis and source dat. we are so gullible.

Any body that follows this man to form a new party is an idiot to the brim.
This same man and other hardened criminal formed the A.P.C that brought in this ganster that's has brought untold hardship , death , unemployment e.t.c to us.

our media represents 50% of our problems, the credulous majority amongst us for 30% while our leaders are responsible for 20%.

Know this and know peace

If you mention Dr. Oby then I can agree.
