OBASANJO HAS PROMISED TO CONTINUE TO CRITICISE THE BUHARI LED ADMINISTRATION

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has explicitly stated that he will continue to criticise President Muhammadu Buhari. He emphasised on the fact that democracy is separate from family matters and democracy involves criticism. Obasanjo cleared the air telling reporters that issues between him and Buhari were not personal.

The former president who was born on the 5th of March,1937 stated this on Tuesday during his 82nd birthday anniversary celebration held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, in Abeokuta.

Obasanjo had earlier responded to remarks made by the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Michael Gbadebo, who advised him to stop attacking Buhari as he clocks 82.

The monarch had expressly said that he never felt comfortable whenever Obasanjo makes derogatory statements about Buhari, the monarch has begged Obasanjo to shy away from such a disgusting act.

speaking to reporters, Obasanjo quickly came to his own defense saying “In a democracy, you can criticise a policy, a government or a leader because democracy is not a family affair. If it is my brother that is occupying the leadership role and he is not doing what I believe he should do, he must be criticised and that is what democracy is all about”.
