Olujonwo Obasanjo, Son of Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo who was recently appointed the President of Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO) has revealed the reason behind his support for the current administration.
Obasanjo revealed that since politics is not a war or a battle, he has every right to support the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari as against his father’s choice of a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
President Buhari
Olujonwo said this yesterday in Abuja while fielding questions from journalists on the activities of his group during a press conference held at the national secretariat of the APC.
“I believe I’m here as an individual, youth and someone who believes that this government is for the youths and future generations.
“This government is leading us towards economic diversification as this nation is blessed with vast resources. I believe in this government as an individual and I’m supporting Mr. President. I can’t speak on behalf of my father,” he said.
“When you get to a certain stage and point in your life, you can choose your path. My father remains my father despite different political ideologies,” he said.
Olujonwo further said, “We need to progress mentally. Politics is meant to unite us. We can agree to disagree. That is the kind of politics we are trying to promote. Politics is to unite, not to divide us.”
The young Obasanjo lauded the successes recorded by the Buhari-administration in agriculture and road construction.
The BYO president expressed optimism that President Buhari would still win in 2019 despite propaganda against him on the social media.
