I Remain ‘partyless’, But A Statesman – Obasanjo by samkay3g(m): 9:57pm On Aug 10, 2015 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he remains a
‘party-less Nigerian’ and will continue to be a statesman.
He said this on Monday at his Abeokuta Hilltop residence
when a delegation from Kogi State, led by the state
Governor, Captain Idris Wada (retd.), paid him a courtesy call.
The former President, who was the a chairman, Board of
Trustees, Peoples Democratic Party, said despite not playing
active partisan politics anymore, he would continue to work
with any Nigerian with capabilities of good intention and
leadership traits.
Obasanjo publicly tore his PDP membership card in February
this year to renounce his membership of the then ruling
party.
He noted that personality and performance would normally
rank above the party platform.
He said, “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.
“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 or any party at all; as long as you are a
committed, sincere and a purposeful leader, I am ready for
you.”
Obasanjo, who commended Wada for engendering peace in
Kogi State, said he was providing purposeful leadership.
He said, “Everybody is welcome, but they must be with good
leadership traits, with genuine intention to improve the
country.”
Wada described Obasanjo as a father of the nation, stressing
that those who believed in him, would continue to learn from
his commitment and dedication to the growth of the country.
The governor added, “Everywhere we meet Baba, we learn a
lot and we shall continue to learn from him. He is a father of
the nation. He is a figure we admire.
“We pray that we all will be like him because he is a
committed Nigerian, who has devoted himself to the growth
of the country. So, why not, if some of us decide to emulate
him, be with him and appreciate him?”
