Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is retired from the murky waters of Nigerian politics.
For all those still in doubt about his political affiliation, Obasanjo has declared that he would never be a politician again in his life.
The man said on Monday, that as of now, he remains a “partyless” Nigerian and would simply continue to be an elder statesman.
Obasanjo said this while hosting Kogi State governor, Capt. Idris Wada, at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He 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,” Obasanjo said.
