Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has been lambasted by the presidency for having the effrontery to criticise the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for the umpteenth time.

In his latest outburst, the former Nigerian leader, who governed the nation first as a military officer and later as a civilian, said the country was getting more dividend under his former ‘boy’ in the military.

But the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, in a statement on Sunday to respond to Mr Obasanjo’s comments, described the Ota, Ogun State-born farmer as the “Divider-in-Chief” of Nigeria.

Mr Shehu said Mr Obasanjo and the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), under which he governed the country, are only envious of the achievements of Mr Buhari.

“This President has run an administration focused on infrastructure and development. He has repaired our damaged relations with neighbours and our traditional allies such as the UK, US, China, Russia, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia and the others with lots of benefits to the country.

“It is a pro-business administration that has used diplomacy to unlock bilateral trade and investment.

“He leads a government that has liberalized the investment climate and market access by achieving reforms that have placed the country in the list of the world’s top reforming economies.

“Nigeria, which other nations had mocked and ridiculed for so many things that were wrong is today progressing at a pace reflecting its size and potential,” the presidency said.

Mr Shehu said President Buhari has shown courage by removing fuel subsidy despite not being popular with many Nigerians.

The presidency said this decision will help to plug some of the most horrendous notorious holes and release of scarce resources for the “more pressing needs of the people has also not escaped the ire of the former president.”

“It takes courage and rare statesmanship on the part of a leader to do as President Buhari to shun populism and seek the best interest of the people and the state, providing the kind of reform and development that Nigeria urgently needs,” he said.

According to him, “It’s a known fact that the withdrawal of subsidies had been on the wish list of the Obasanjo-led PDP.

“They failed in achieving these measures because, one. there was a shared greed. They plundered the treasury as much as anyone could in the name of either subsidy or waiver with reckless impunity.”

Mr Shehu said Mr Obasanjo is only attempting to divide the nation while President Buhari continues to promote nation-building and the unity of Nigeria.

A workable government will not be boasting of their achievement at the slightest chance given they will allow it good work speak for itself, APC should stop deceiving their self

But, I would like to ask a question.
Are these people supporting APC living in nigeria?
Party aside, APC have failed woefully.
From economic to security

nothing wey madam no go send nkechi the housegal

One of the achievements

Who has thunder ⚡ number?, he need to come check something in Nigeria

What achievement ko ni da fun eyin APC radarada yi

Change of Promise

..seems I don't get this people. What achievements are they saying? Has bubu's presidency even achieved 50% of OBJ's?
BTW, who is the presidency?

Buhari’s govt is extremely incompetent. But that’s not what I’m most annoyed about

What I find irritating is their patronising, condescending, childish, defensive responses to genuine criticism.

I hate this govt, passionately!

A= All

P= PROMISE

C= CANCEL




A= ALL

P=PROPAGANDA

C=CONGRESS

Are these people seeing what the rest of us are seeing? There really is nothing as pitiful as a politician who is deficient in relaying untruths

Achievement?

The APC is just a failed government & unmitigated disaster still struggling to live up to its clueless and incompetency.

Brainwashed zombies are one of their achievements

Are his achievements abstract? I cannot find any positive one.

May be this achievement !

all these urchins in the villa are truly sick. who will envy an unmitigated disaster like GMB

Whoever dem pay to write this article go dey laugh as him dey write am.

APC and deceit

It's only empty barrels that is noisy because there is no oil in it... so APC achievements is noise making because their achievements is no achievement

We got debt relief under Obasanjo while bubu accumulated a total of 18.89 trillion just in five years of his tenure while we still have three years more to go.
APC is failed woefully.

Both are bad leaders.
But buhari is better than obasanjo.

Obasanjo was chronic election rigger.
Also many bigwig politicians were assassinated during his time. Chief bola ige and others were murdered.
He spent more than one billion dollars "repairing" railway tracks, but he could not bring back a single train in eight years.
Obasanjo spent sixteen billion dollars to buy darkness.


Obasanjo deserve to be in jail.

We got debt relief under Obasanjo regime while bubu accumulated a total of 18.89trillion just in five years of his tenure & we still have three more years to go.
APC has failed woefully.
