The Presidency attacked former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his claim that corruption has reached a fatal stage in the country.
The Presidency also faulted Obasanjo’s call for the sack of the Independent National Electoral Commission (inec)Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, over his conduct of the 2023 election which he described as a caricature.
Recall Obasanjo canvassed for shorter tenures for INEC officials and a more rigorous vetting process to prevent the appointment of partisan individuals.
He criticized President Bola Tinubu’s performance in office, saying that corruption continues to rank among the most important problems affecting Nigerians.
However, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, says that the former President has no moral grounds to criticise INEC, having presided over “the most fraudulent election held in Nigeria since 1960.”
