Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has provided an explanation for why he will not campaign for Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) for president.
Obasanjo said he has done his part by publicly endorsing his candidate while speaking on Thursday at a virtual engagement hosted by Africa Leadership Group with the theme: “Leadership and nation-building.” Obasanjo had endorsed Obi in his New Year’s message to Nigerians, which was titled “My appeal to all Nigerians particularly young Nigerians.”

He stated that he had no regrets about ruling Nigeria and highlighted that leadership takes character, attributes, an attitude, abilities, and most importantly, a fear of God.
Obasanjo asserted that leadership is the reason Nigeria is where it is and that we must proactively hunt for men and women who possess the qualities, abilities, attitudes, and character necessary for leadership.
By making his recommendation public, Obasanjo said he has done his best and added that he is not a part of any political party.
I don’t associate with any political group. No campaign train will have me aboard. I have spoken out for what is right for the nation and am not running for office. Obasanjo claimed that he had made use of his experience and had spoken clearly.
