Bola Tinubu, a
national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asked former
President Olusegun Obasanjo to keep quiet and retire to his farm in Ota, Ogun
state.
Tinubu said this at the
presidential rally which held in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital,on Monday.
Speaking to a crowd of
supporters that thronged Ramat Square, the location of the rally, Tinubu
described Obasanjo as an “expired leader” that is not to be trusted.
He was reacting to a
recent comment by the former president that the Buhari-led administration was
planning to rig the general election.
“You can hear the other
expired leaders like Obasanjo, ranting and lying. Don’t believe him, don’t
trust him. He is expired,” he said.
“With the sign of
senility experienced by our dear brother, Uncle Obasanjo, I think Ota should be
enough a retirement place to keep quiet.”
This is not the first
time the former Lagos state governor would hit Obasanjo for attacking Buhari.
Early in 2018, when Obasanjo wrote a letter advising Buhari not to
contest for reelection, Tinubu had described the letter as “bad belle”, an
informal, Nigerian slang that suggests one hates or has bad wishes for another
person.
“I remember my
grandmother used to send me to a letter writer in the post office of those
days, so somebody is writing letters these days, a letter of politics, as if
they’ve never been there before. Bad belle letters,” he had said.
