Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday showed no signs of strife with the daughter of late politician and businessman, Moshood Abiola, Lola Abiola-Edewor, contrary to speculations of a strained relationship between the two.
During the campaign finale of Tunji Olurin, governorship candidate of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) held at Itoku market in Abeokuta. Mrs Abiola-Edewor was invited to take her place at the high table. She went straight to where Mr Obasanjo was seated and took the chair next to him. The former president in turn welcomed her with a friendly gesture and they immediately started chatting and laughing.
Support for Jonathan
Mr Obasanjo while addressing the party supporters later, called on the electorate to vote for Mr Olurin during the governorship election scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, 2011, saying “Let’s follow whoever knows the way; he has done it before, he knows how to do it, he has been successful.
“Adetunji Olurin will do it; he has done it before, he knows how to do it. Don’t let them deceive you; don’t let them defraud you. We have a lot of work to do and God will help us. Mr Olurin will address the problems of road, education, school fees, power,” he assured.
The former president added, “I have ruled as a military head of state and as a civilian president and I did not fail. Our president in Abuja is of the PDP. Some people said they wanted change because they are tired of PDP. We were also tired of it before and that’s why we said those that did not do well should leave the party. They have gone to another party. The PDP we have now is a new PDP.” Speaking of his commitment to the development of the country, Mr Obasanjo said, “They are asking, what does Obasanjo want in this entire struggle? I’m looking for two things: first, I want Nigeria to be developed. That’s why I left no stone unturned to ensure the emergence of Jonathan as president. The second reason. I want Ogun State to also progress.”
