Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, denied hailing presidential candidate of the All Progressives Candidate, Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2023 poll.
Obasanjo said from his experience, only military-trained personnel were good managers of people.
The rebuttal by the ex-Head of State was issued by his spokesperson, Kehinde Akinyemi.
Obasanjo stated that he could not have made any remark at the expense of his noble military profession.
A viral WhatsApp message by a group, “National Patriots” had claimed that the retired general had described Tinubu as a super politician.
“If you are looking for a thoroughbred politician of masters class, visit Lagos Bourdillon,” he was quoted saying.
Obasanjo, however, said only individuals trained by the armed forces had the capability to properly manage men and materials.
“I cannot disparage my noble profession for politics that has no formal training. This is false and fake,” he said.
