Stop making jest of presidents – Osinbajo’s ex-aide to Obasanjo

A former spokesman of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Laolu Akande, has charged ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to stop making jest of other presidents.

Akande said Nigeria is suffering from political leadership issues.

His remarks comes in reaction to Obasanjo’s comment describing President Bola Tinubu as “baba go-slow.”

Delivering a lecture at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum at Yale University, the former president described the 2023 general elections as a travesty.

He also accused the INEC of compromising the BVAS.

However, speaking during Channels TV programme, Inside Sources, Akande said political challenges in Nigeria can be linked to leadership crisis.

He said: “On #InsideSources yesterday, we took the view during the segment- MY TAKE that former presidents such as General Obasanjo should do better than merely making jest of other presidents.

“The Nigerian situation suffers from political leadership challenges, but even more serious is the deeper problem that itself produces the political leadership challenges.”
