Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that contrary to reports, he has not yet endorsed any presidential candidate for the March 28 presidential elections.
It would be recalled that Obasanjo had said during an interview with the Financial Times at a book launch on Monday that he would support the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari. (Read here)
APC leaders commended Obaanjo for the said endorsement while leaders of his (Obasanjo’s) party, the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, such as a former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Mu’Azu, condemned him (Obasanjo).
However, Obasanjo has now come out to say that although he supports Buhari, he hasn’t endorsed him.
He said, “I will not go into argument about that. I did not unendorse him or endorse him as such. A question was asked and I said I will determine, based on the track record of those candidates who are contesting and who ask me for support, and when I do that, based on my own assessment, I will support the candidate that I believe has the best track record. And I am still in the process of that.”
