Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo reiterated his retirement from party politics during a visit to Osogbo, Osun State.<\/p>\n
While affirming his past association with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Obasanjo clarified that he has retired from active involvement in party politics.<\/p>\n
Commissioning the VIP lodge at the Government House, he commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for his governance style and efforts to complete abandoned projects.<\/p>\n
Addressing Adeleke, Obasanjo praised him for his multifaceted approach to governance, highlighting that being a \u201cdancing governor\u201d does not detract from his effectiveness as a leader.<\/p>\n
His words: \u201cSome people once despised you for being a dancer, but I maintained that only happy people dance. You are my dancing partner.\u201d<\/p>\n
Obasanjo described Osun as a complex state, saying, \u201cIt is not difficult to govern; it only requires the fear of God, openness, and good character.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I have heard and seen since three days ago that I have been here, if there is doubt in anybody that you are working, tell the person to come and see. If you remember there was a time I phoned you, and I said don\u2019t hate dancing, but as you are dancing, ensure you are working.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I say that I don\u2019t know what happened before you get to the government, it is a lie. But, you did something last week Sunday, by calling leaders of your party. It was my party but I am not participating in party politics again. I am happy that you called them for deliberation.<\/p>\n
\u201cSenator Olu Alabi is here, Alhaji Fatai Akinbade, and former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola. We should bring everyone on board. I have talked to two out of three of them, it is a good move which is not only good for the party but also good for the State and the country.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
