Former NNigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo refused to bless the former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, who had gone to seek for his blessing as he prepares to contest for the Presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2019 elections.
Sule Lamido had arrived, along with members of his national campaign council yesterday, at the Olusegun Obasanjo national library Abeokuta, Ogun State to ask for Obasanjo’s blessings on his presidential aspiration in 2019.
But Obasanjo, after listening to his former foreign affairs minister, said: “as a former minister of foreign affairs, Sule knows the world and knows how to relate with other countries of the world.
“I was so happy and elated by what I saw in Jigawa state when you became a Governor. Sule, I don’t have any doubt about your attributes, your capacity, your courage, your interest about your state and Nigeria at large. Sule you can do it and you can do it well.”
Sule Lamido had earlier told Obasanjo: “I have nothing to tell you about me because you know me more than anybody. I have come to greet you, brief you, seek for your blessings and ask for your fatherly advice.”
