Visit to Rivers State: I’ve no regret stopping Amaechi in 2007 —Obasanjo
 

 FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo, says he had no regret over his decision to stop Governor Rotimi Amaechi from contesting as the governorship flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the April 2007 general elections.

Obasanjo at the Ambassador Nne  Krubo Model Secondary School, Ebubu community, Eleme Local Government Area, Rivers State, on Monday, before commissioning the institution, said he acted based on reports available to him then.

The ex-president said he believed that the decision was a right one, when he made that decision, therefore had no apology to anyone.

According to him, and i quote, "I fast and pray to take decisions on important issues. When I have something that requires action, it must be taken, otherwise I am not a worthy leader. A report came on Amaechi which indicated that there were some issues and I said yes, there are some issues, going by the report.”

Obasanjo said he was not happy with the court verdict which declared Amaechi winner of the election since he did not physically participate in the exercise.
