The former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has debunked rumours that he has the intentions of forming a new party, noting that he is done with politics.
In a statement signed by the ex-president’s Special Assistant on Media Affairs, Kehinde Akinyemi which was dubbed ‘Obasanjo Not Forming Political Party’, the former President cleared the air.
In the statement he stated emphatically that he is done with partisan politics but because of his reputation in Nigeria and Africa, his doors are opened for any individual or group of individuals who want to seek his opinion, view, and advice on any issue or matter.
He stated that it is the party of Nigeria that must be saved, kept wholesomely united in peace, security, equity, development and progress. Because the Nigerian party today is facing insecurity, unemployment, hunger, poverty, and various challenging issues.
He added that those who want to use the back door to force Chief him to return to partisan politics respect his choice to remain a non-partisan statesman.
