Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has reaffirmed his retirement from party politics, asserting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains a part of his political history.
Obasanjo, speaking during his visit to Osogbo, Osun State, to commission the VIP lodge at the Government House, commended Governor Ademola Adeleke for his dual role as both a diligent worker and an enthusiastic dancer.
“Some people once despised you for being a dancer, but I maintained that only happy people dance. You are my dancing partner,” Obasanjo expressed, acknowledging Adeleke’s vibrancy and commitment to governance.
Reflecting on the complexities of governing Osun State, Obasanjo emphasized the importance of virtues such as the fear of God, openness, and good character in effective leadership.
