Aso Rock gives excuses in response to Obasanjo’s attack
The presidency has responded to the outburst of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying there is nothing new in recent attack on President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration.
Obasanjo had railed on the APC government, describing Buhari as a failure which Nigerians must vote out in 2019.
But Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina said Buhari would not engage Obasanjo, his senior in the military.
“President Buhari was made a minister under him during the military regime. So, President Buhari will never take issue with him,” said Adesina during an interview on Channels TV.
