LATEST: I’m Done With Politics – Obasanjo Declares

Olusegun Obasanjo, the former President, has expressed that he is done with politics, dismissing rumors that he has the intention to form a new political party.

This was contained in a statement on Monday, titled, ‘Obasanjo Not Forming Political Party,’ signed by the ex-president’s Special Assistant on Media Affairs, Kehinde Akinyemi.

Akinyemi stated that his principal has declared the report as false, adding that there was “no plan to float a new political party now or in near future.”

Obasanjo was quoted as saying, “In my part of the world, when you say goodnight in a place, you do not go back there and say good evening. The one who reported that may need to visit Yaba Left. And those who believe it can believe that their mothers are men.

“I’m done with partisan politics but by my position in Nigeria and in Africa and without being immodest and indeed in the world my door must be opened and it is open to any individual or group of individuals who want to seek my opinion, view, or advice on any issue or matter and I will respond to the best of my ability, without being part of that individual or group.

“If anything, Chief Obasanjo’s political party today is the party of Nigerians facing insecurity, unemployment, hunger, poverty, and various other challenging issues. It is the party of Nigeria that must be saved, kept wholesomely united in peace, security, equity, development, and progress.

“Let those who want to use the back door to force Chief Obasanjo to return to partisan politics respect his choice to remain a non-partisan statesman. On his part, the former President will continue to perform his role as a statesman focused on providing counsel, support, or solutions wherever possible in Nigeria, Africa, and indeed the world.”
