Naija News reported the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communication and Orientation, Sunday Dare, described former President Obasanjo as a man with a tremendous capacity for mischief.
Dare stated this on Monday while reacting to the former President’s criticism of President Tinubu’s leadership style.
Dare argued that under the administration of Obasanjo, $16 billion was diverted from its intended intention of ensuring stable electricity in the country. He dismissed Obasanjo‘s moral right to criticize any government in Nigeria.
Tinubu’s aide added that his principal has been trying to put Nigeria back on the development track.
Reacting to the post, some Nigerians berated Dare over the statement stating that President Tinubu should be concerned about the issue raised by Obasanjo.
Others also defended Obasanjo, noting that despite his flaws, he remains the best president in the country’s history.
However, others claimed that Obasanjo is seeking attention from the presidency,
