Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Tuesday said he is still a card carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, even as he inaugurated projects of the Rivers government.
Mr. Obasanjo made this known when he spoke with journalists at the end of his two-day visit in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
The former president inaugurated 16 projects completed by Governor Chibuike Amaechi of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He commended the projects, saying they were laudable. The former president said the criticism that trailed the project was normal.
According to him, if there is anything good you are doing and there is no opposition, you should take a second look at it.
Mr. Obasanjo said that it was only Rivers that could run a monorail transport because of its power
generation.
“With 700 megawatts, you can dedicate 10 megawatts to the monorail; so, the only state in the country that can do that for now is Rivers,” he said.
Mr. Obasanjo, who also inaugurated the Buguma Fish farm in Asari Toru Local Government Area, described the project as laudable. He urged the state to maintain the project, adding that it should ensure preservative processing to avoid spoilage and wastage.
