Obasanjo clarifies position on Tinubu’s candidacy
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria’s former president, has again, dismissed as fake news, a viral message where he was quoted as endorsing the political sagacity of Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, and disparaging the military.
Obasanjo was reacting to a viral message attributed to him, which quoted him saying that, “I am not a politician; I am a decorated soldier, an army general. If you are looking for thoroughbred 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 declared he never made any remark at the expense of his noble military profession.
According to Obasanjo, “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.”
