President Bola Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, has blamed Nigeria’s current economic woes on the poor choices of former Peoples Democratic Party’s presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo, the late Umar Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan.
Bayo Onanuga made this assertion via a statement on Monday.
According to Onanuga: “The current economic crisis the All Progressives Congress administrations have been battling since 2015 is the product of the poor choices in economic management made by Obasanjo and the two successors from his party.

“In a joint vote of no confidence in our tertiary institutions, Obasanjo and his deputy, Atiku Abubakar, sought to profit from their weaknesses by establishing their private universities.”
Onanuga’s remark came on the heels of Obasanjo’s criticism of Tinubu as ‘baba go-slow.’
The former president faulted Tinubu’s economic policies, which he claimed the world sees as failing.
In other news, special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communication and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has hit out at former President Olusegun Obasanjo over a recent remark where he described President Bola Tinubu as ‘baba-go slow.’
Obasanjo had made the remark while delivering a keynote address at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum, Yale University, New Haven Connecticut, USA.
He said the situation in Nigeria was bad as the world could see and understand.
Reacting, Dare, in a lengthy post on X on Monday, insisted that Obasanjo ran for Presidency on record as the most corrupt during his regime.
He also called on the former president to apologize to Nigerians, adding that he has lost any moral right to condemn any government.
Dare also claimed that democracy suffered mortal wounds under Obasanjo’s watch.
