Chidi Samuel || Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of playing politics with the public letter he recently wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu who was on his way to Oko in Anambra state, for the burial of Alex Ekwueme, former vice-president, made the comments after a meeting with Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, at government house Owerri.
According to him, Obasanjo ought to have discussed the issues raised in the letter in a private meeting with Buhari.
Tinubu said, “Obasanjo wrote it about the government. It is a very good awareness on his part and they are both from the same background.”
“I believe that is the doctrine of military officers; because he has unrestricted access to the president, either through the council of state or by any other means that he needs to see the current president. The president was his junior in the army.
“They also met at the African Union meeting. He has a way of discussing with the president any time he wants.
“So, I think Obasanjo was playing politics with his public letter, that’s all I see. He could have used other means.”
The APC national leader, however, refused to comment on Obasanjo’s Coalition for Nigeria Movement, stating that it is not appropriate to do so now.
