Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he has no preferred candidate among those contesting the 2023 presidential election.
Obasanjo, stated this in Minna when he paid former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar a visit, on Sunday.
The former president said he only had a national agenda, not a preferred candidate.
“I don’t have a special candidate, I have a national agenda,” he said.
The former President also said he was in Minna to visit the former Head of State who had been indisposed.
“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 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,” he said.
Obasanjo added that “if there is anyone who is indisposed, I will visit and I am still strong.”
The former president held a closed-door meeting with Abdulsalami during the visit.
