Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo has denied a viral message where he was quoted as endorsing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), as Nigeria’s next President. He described it as fake news.
In a viral WhatsApp message, Obasanjo was quoted to have said: “I am not a politician; I am a decorated soldier, an army general.
“If you are looking for thorough bred politician of masters class, visit Lagos Bourdillon, there you’ll find one…”
Reacting to the claim through his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo denied ever making such remark at the expense of his noble military profession.
He said: “only the military trains personnel to be good managers of men and materials.
“So, I cannot disparage my noble profession for politics that has no formal training. This is false and fake.”
