Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has disclosed that he has no preferred candidate among those contesting the 2023 presidential election, saying that his priority is a national agenda for positive development in Nigeria.
Obasanjo stated this in Minna on Sunday when he paid a courtesy visit to former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
He added that he was in Minna to visit Abdulsalami who had been indisposed.
He said, “I don’t have a special candidate, I have a national agenda.
“I came to see my brother who has been a little indisposed. I had plans to visit him when he was still in London, but the day I arrived in London was the day he returned home.
“So that is why I decided to come and see him at home. He is very special so I had to come.
“If there is anyone who is indisposed, I will visit and I am still strong.”
Obasanjo later held a closed-door meeting with Abdulslami.
The former president had arrived at Abdulsalami’s residence at about 12:30 and left at about 1:13pm.
