Obasanjo can’t tell us who to vote for – Tinubu

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress ,


Bola Tinubu , on Tuesday, lambasted former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the recent letter of criticism he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari , saying the ex - President had no right to dictate who the people should vote for in the 2019 presidential election .

The former Lagos State governor, who said Obasanjo did his terms in office without being disturbed , urged him to face his poultry business in his Ota farm . Tinubu said if Obasanjo had laid a good foundation for the country when he was President , like he (Tinubu ) did in Lagos State, Nigeria would not be in the mess that it was in. Tinubu spoke at the Lagos APC secretariat in Ogba on Tuesday during the party ’ s stakeholders ’ meeting . Present at the meeting were Governor Akinwunmi Ambode ; Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudasiru Obasa; the Chairman of the Lagos State APC , Tunde Balogun , and other party stalwarts in Lagos . Tinubu , who switched between Yoruba and English languages , said having brought Buhari in , the party would also ensure his re - election next year , notwithstanding Obasanjo ’ s opposition. “ Look at us in Lagos , we can get angry with one another , it is only God that has perfection . When you elected me as governor, I laid the foundation . If we didn’ t lay the foundation for Lagos , there’ s no amount of wisdom that Fashola may have that will make the state as progressive as it has been .
