Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he has no intention of sacrificing his life for any political party.
Speaking on Thursday when the Presidential Candidate of the National Conscience Party, NCP, Martins Onovo, paid him a visit at his Hilltop private residence in Abeokuta, Obasanjo said he can only sacrifice his life for the interest of Nigeria.
He said: “My first pre-occupation is what is best for Nigeria; Nigeria first, party second and any other thing third. Nigeria first means I will not sacrifice anything for the interest of Nigeria but I can sacrifice my own life for the interest of Nigeria, I can’t sacrifice my life for the interest of a party, I will sacrifice my life for the interest of Nigeria.
The former president commended late Gani Fawehinmi, founder of NCP, who according to him fought injustice and also checked the excesses of governments in power, Premium Times report.
