The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Michael Gbadebo, has advised former President Olusegun Obasanjo to stop attacking President Muhammadu Buhari as he clocks 82.
The monarch said he had never been comfortable whenever Obasanjo attacked Buhari, urging him to sheathe his sword.
You all know that I was an officer under Gen. Buhari; so, each time Obasanjo criticises my boss, I always tell my senior ; ‘[please, leave the President alone!’“You need to rest, fight less and take a position of a consultant at your new age.But Obasanjo, while acknowledging the goodwill messages from friends, responded to Alake’s plea.
Obasanjo, who ruled as a military head of state from 1976 to 1979 and as a democratically elected President from 1999 to 2007, said he would forever remain Nigeria’s longest serving leader. He said, “We must, however, accept the facts and fix it. When we consider countries like Seychelles and Botswana who have become paragons of excellence, we need to ask what they did to achieve such.
The President said he would continue to accord Obasanjo respect, in spite of their political differences.
