Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he could have secured a third term in office if he wanted, saying he is audacious enough to get it.
This is as he says he wont join the campaign train of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, saying he has done his best by writing his endorsement.
The former president said these while speaking at a virtual engagement organised by Africa Leadership Group.
Recall that Obasanjo had in his New Year message to Nigerians, titled: My appeal to all Nigerians particularly young Nigerians, thrown his weight behind Obi.
The ex-president said he had no regret leading Nigeria.
The former president, however, refuted claims that he wanted a third term as President of the country.
Obasanjo said he would have had it if he had wanted. I never asked for a third term. If I wanted a third term, I would have got it. I am audacious enough to know how to get it, Obasanjo said.
Speaking on the Nigerian constitution, Obasanjo called for an amendment, noting that no constitution was perfect. He said part of what should be included in the amended Constitution is the devolution of power.
