Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed to everyone that despite being a Yoruba man, he would choose Nigeria over the Oodua Republic.
Obasanjo stated this when a delegation from the League of Northern Democrats visited him recently at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He said: “It is high time we began working for the national interest. Yes, you have identified your group as the League of northern democrats but how I wish you called your group the National League of Democrats because where you come from should not be a problem.”
“Where I was born should not be the enemy of my being a Nigerian. It will be greater to be a Nigerian than to be a member of the Republic of Oodua.”
“I am undoubtedly proud to be a Yoruba but my being a Nigerian should not be the enemy of my being a Yoruba.”
“We must get the best man for the job. It doesn’t matter where he comes from. We must get our acts together.”
