The convener of the Conscience of Yoruba Nation Group, Kole Omololu, has knocked former President Olusegun Obasanjo, over his criticism that President Bola Tinubu, was not prepared for governance before being elected in 2023.
Omololu, in a statement, claimed that the criticism of Obasanjo was borne out of envy and hatred.
He said the view expressed by Obasanjo was far from the truth because Tinubu shared his plan with Nigerians before he was convincingly elected.
“Tinubu’s strategy was so well disseminated during the 2023 election campaign that even now, we can repeat them by rote. It is as follows: end subsidy, float the Naira devolve power from the federal to the state and local governments, and expand education via student loans.
“Others can be found in his manifesto, Renewed Hope, which was widely circulated during the campaigns.
According to Omololu, “Nigerians need to understand where General Olusegun Obasanjo is coming from. This is a man with the mother of all egos. He wants to be the only successful President from Southern Nigeria.
“That is what he wants as his legacy. And to achieve that, he must undermine every other southerner who emerges, despite his best efforts to stop them, as President of Nigeria.
“It is for that reason that he undermined former President Goodluck Jonathan by lying that that good man was maintaining a killer squad of former Abacha hitmen to target political enemies.
“Today, his unsavoury darts have been aimed at President Tinubu, who he feels has already outshined and out-achieved him in just one year. Nigerians should see it for what it is: sour grapes and envy.”
