Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that ascension to political offices does not empower incumbents to destroy policies and programmes of their predecessors.
He said while it does not matter the party a predecessor belonged to, new leaders should sustain the policies and projects of their predecessors in as much as the programmes are in the interest of the people.
Obasanjo spoke on Thursday at The International Conference On ‘Deepening Democratic Culture and Institutions for Sustainable Development and Security in Nigeria’ in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State.
The speech of Obasanjo, who was Nigeria’s democratically elected President between 1999 and 2007, comes just a few weeks to the February 25 and March 11, 2023 general elections.
