Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has endorsed Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido for the Presidency in 2015.
Obasanjo made the remarks in Dutse yesterday where he was visiting in the capacity as Chairperson of Obasanjo Foundation.
The ex-President’s NGO adopted a school in the State under the Governor’s initiative to support the education of the girl child.
Obasanjo said, “Given his background, performance and credibility, he is competent. With his exposure, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with anybody.
“If it is the wish of the people, it is okay. He did not tell me he is wishing but being the wish of the people let wait and see. Based on his track record, would you say he is not competent?”
“Our hope is to produce future leaders who would grow up with one Nigeria in their subconscious, committed and patriotic, those who understand that self is not good enough.”
Obasanjo also praised Lamido for building best international airport in the country within a short period of time.
