I Am Not Looking For Work Under Tinubu – Obasanjo Reacts To Rumoured Meeting Between Him, President In Abeokuta

September 16, 2023

A video had gone viral on the internet where it was alleged that Obasanjo and Tinubu met at Oba Gbadebo's birthday and that the former President promised to work under Tinubu if given the opportunity.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has denied claims that he met President Bola Tinubu in Abeokuta on Thursday at the 80th birthday of the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo and promised to work for Tinubu if he is offered a job.

A video had gone viral on the internet where it was alleged that Obasanjo and Tinubu met at Oba Gbadebo’s birthday and that the former President promised to work under Tinubu if given the opportunity.


But reacting to the viral video, Obasanjo on Saturday in a statement issued by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, described the video as fake, disjointed and sickening.

He condemned the video, saying the banter conversation took place between him and Tinubu when he played host to the President in 2022 at the buildup of the 2023 general elections.

According to the statement, Obasanjo said, “One, I have not seen Bola Tinubu since he visited me in my house in Abeokuta, when he was campaigning. Secondly, I was at the church and not the reception for Alake’s 80th birthday reception.”


The statement further noted that “During Tinubu’s visit to his house last year, he met the former President playing his favorite traditional game (ayo) and he started the banter, jokingly telling the former President that he was shocked to see him playing the Ayo game at that time of the day.

“Spontaneously, as he was getting up from his chair to welcome him and other accompanying visitors, Obasanjo responded: “When I don’t have job. If you are ready to give me job, I am ready to do it.”

Akinyemi said that the statement was contrary to the meaning the viral video was putting out, quoting Obasanjo as saying, “I am not looking for work and I am not working with anyone as the fake news puts out. Those who are looking for people to work with Bola Tinubu should look outside Obasanjo.”

Ipob miscreants dey try sha.

Same life dey lived throughout Buhari's 8 years is what they are continuing under Tinubu.

Idiots will just sit down and all that pass through their punctured brains is how to generate and spread fake news. I don't really understand how that jaundiced livelihood will make their worthless lives and make their illiterate god victorious.

Funny how same animals will jump on anyone not supporting their foolishness and start calling him poor, earning 30k bmc and all those their foolish description.

Jobless illiterates gallivanting cyberspace without bearing.
