Former president Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday said he had no plan to float any political party in the future.

Obasanjo who was in Kabul in Afghanistan, as a guest of President Ashraf Ghani, accused some unnamed persons of planning to drag his name in the mud.

Obasanjo, who was reacting to a report that he had picks three ex-govs as coordinators of a new party,’ described it as a fabrication.

The former president in a statement on Monday by his Special Assistant on Media Affairs , Kehinde Akinyemi, said he was not shocked by the report .

The statement reads partly,  “He said that the fabricated story hardly comes as a surprise because he has, for some time now, observed with bewilderment the efforts by some people to drag him into their political games.

“Upon hearing of this latest fabricated report, Chief Obasanjo said, “In my part of the world, when you say goodnight in a place, you do not go back there and say good evening. The one who reported that may need to visit Yaba left (a psychiatrist hospital) . And those who believe it can believe that their mothers are men.

“I’m done with partisan politics but by my position in Nigeria and in Africa and without being immodest; and indeed in the world, my door must be opened and it is open to any individual or group of individuals who want to seek my opinion, view or advice on any issue or matter and I will respond to the best of my ability, without being part of that individual or group.

“If anything, Chief Obasanjo’s political party today is the party of Nigerians facing insecurity, unemployment, hunger, poverty, and various other challenging issues. It is the party of Nigeria which must be saved, kept wholesomely united in peace, security, equity, development and progress.”

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike said it was unconstitutional for President Major General Muhammadu Buhari to resign to transfer his constitutional responsibility to protect the lives and property of Nigerians to the state governor.

In a statement from his media adviser kelvin Ebiri, the governor said the president is the commander in chief of the armed forces and cannot hold the governor responsible for security in the country.

During the opening of the 21- kilometer Odufor Akpoku Umuoye road in the Etche Local Government Area on Tuesday, Wike said the same position showed that the federal government, led by the All Progressive Congress, lacked a strategy to combat insecurity in the country.

He said: " Mr President, you are the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They appointed an inspector general of police. They appointed the chief of staff of the army, the chief of the navy, the commissioner of police, the director of public services, and other leaders of the security services.

" Who should we appoint? " How can the people called Mr President stand under me? "

" You are not only responsible for borrowing money for Nigeria. You also have to be responsible for other things, including safety. Who signed Order 10? Are you the governor? It' s not about when something goes wrong with security and they say he' s not. . . he' s responsible and that' s what the manager is responsible for, " he said.

Wike advised the APC led federal government to agree that it could no longer keep its promises to Nigeria.

The governor said Nigeria should start comparing the performance of the leaders of the People' s Democratic Party with their APC counterparts.

He said, " Mr President doesn' t have enough names of governors who flee to Aso Rock if they have to stay in their country to meet the needs of their country and people.

" The President must speak frankly and say, ' My APC manager, don' t worry. Go back to your state and do the work. " I support him in this.

" Thank God, Mr. President, I know that I was not one of those who came to see him with one question or another. " As governor of Rivers of the PDP, you' ll never find me there, " Wike said.

Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, who paved the way, saw the joy on the faces of local residents directly affected by the project.

She said: " I told him I would be here because he loves his people. Politics and democracy are not about enriching one or two people in a community. The Odufor Akpoku Umuoye Road is a project that everyone in this place will live on. what you leave behind will not be forgotten by the people of Rivers. They will protect you, they will protect you and they will always support you.
