Iyabo Obasanjo then went further to describe her father, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as “one of the most brilliant leaders to ever emerge in modern Africa”.
She accused the government of sponsoring the re-circulation of her scathing letter to her father. she says
“those who should benefit from the advice and admonishment of one of the most brilliant leaders to ever emerge in modern Africa have resorted to a cheap tactic that further reiterates the message that they found abhorrent enough to start looking for unconnected issues to put together to make their point.”
She urged the president to yield to calls on him to step aside in 2019.
“The wise should listen wherever help and advice comes from,” she said.
“Those who re-published the old letter should have spent the time to respond to the content of the said statement which called for President Buhari to retire in 2019,” Ms. Obasanjo said, adding that Mr. Buhari’s failing health condition should dissuade him from running in 2019.
