Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said the achievements of the Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun administration cannot be denied by the opposition.
Obasanjo said although assessment of public office holders is better done when they are out power, he would “stick out” his neck to appraise Amosun now.
The former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) Board of Trustees spoke in Abeokuta on Tuesday at his 77th birthday celebration at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL).
He said: “I do not like to talk about politicians when they are still in power. It is only when politicians are out of power that you can assess them accurately. But for this one, I will stick out my neck a little bit. “Those of you who are here in Ogun State will testify. Even if you belong to a party that does not like the governor, you can say I did not lie. I thank you for what you are doing for us.”
Amosun, who was at the event, described Obasanjo as “a leader whose love for the continued progress, unity and survival of Nigeria is second to none.”
