STATE HOUSE PRESS STATEMENT
FORMER PRESIDENT OBASANJO WAS NOT AN IDEAL LEADER TO EMULATE
In a recent display of his characteristic self-importance, former President Olusegun Obasanjo once again took to the public stage to bestow his unsolicited wisdom on leadership and governance in Nigeria.

Time For Atiku Abubakar To End His Grand Illusions And Fantasies
Since his defeat in the last election, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has shown more interest in undermining President Bola Ahmed Tinubu than in addressing his party’s implosion. We suspect he is envious of Tinubu’s position—an office he has unsuccessfully sought six times.
