The missiles between former president Olusegun Obasanjo and incumbent president Muhammadu Buhari over the essay the former penned, seem unready to leave the public discourse soon.
The battle has shifted to aides and supporters of the two former military rulers and politicians.
“Anyone that says Chief Olusegun Obasanjo needs to see a doctor and that he should “get well soon” is deluded.
“It is not Obasanjo that stumbles whenever he mounts the podium. It is not Obasanjo that dribbles when he talks. It is not Obasanjo that cannot control his bowels. It is not Obasanjo that needs to be spoon fed”, Femi Fani-Kayode has said.
He also quotes a remark that was once given by President Buhari about Obasanjo whereby he said that “Former President Obasanjo is a courageous patriot and statesman who tells truth to power when he is convinced leaders are going wrong.”
~General Muhammadu Buhari, March 4, 2015
Reno Omokri equally lent support in a recent tweet to Kayode’s comments.
WATCH and SHARE this video from President Obasanjo on why @Atiku is twice the man that President @MBuhari is. Remember that on March 4, 2015, Buhari said Obasanjo is a ”man who tells the truth to power when he is convinced leaders have going wrong”. WATCH, COMMENT and RETWEET. pic.twitter.com/UCQuG56UV0

President Muhammadu Buhari had said that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who has been one of his trenchant critics needs to see a doctor and a good one. He also described the former president as corrupt and a liar.
Buhari, who described Obasanjo as a coward and leader of the gang of politicians who, in their selfish interests have chosen to support the presidential bid of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, so as to defeat him, said they will be soundly defeated in the February 16, 2019 election.
The president’s reaction through his spokesman, Garba Shehu, to Obasanjo’s open statement to him reads: “The sixteen-page letter the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari and released this afternoon is the last push by desperate politicians who can’t handle the President politically and have resorted to subterfuge.
Our first message to the former President is that he needs a good doctor for good treatment and to say to him, “Get well soon.”
