Former President Obasanjo denies forming New Political Party

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described a report published in one of the National dailies with the headline “New Party Ahead of 2023” which alleged that he was planning to float a New Political Party as unfounded and false.

Chief Obasanjo in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media Affairs, Kehinde Akinyemi said the fabricated story did not come as a surprise because for some time now, some people were making efforts to drag him into their political games.

The Former President who is currently in Kabul, Afghanistan as a guest of President Ashraf Ghani, however maintained that there was no plan to float a New Political Party now or in near future.

Chief Obasanjo who said he remained a non partisan statesman assured Nigerians that he would continue to give counsel, support or solution wherever possible in Nigeria, Africa and indeed the world.
