In a statement made available to the press on Sunday, May 26, 2024, by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo faulted Tinubu’s economic policies and his controversial handling of the coup d’etat in Niger Republic.
The ex-president said the policies, which according to him were wrongly implemented, have led to the impoverishment of the economy and Nigerians.
Obasanjo identified the removal of subsidy, the unification of the exchange rate, and the dealing with a military coup in the Niger Republic as some of the ‘necessary policies’ that Tinubu ‘implemented wrongly.’
