Former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid a visit to First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu on Monday to mark the Sallah celebration.
The announcement of Obasanjo’s visit was made by Busola Kukoyi, the spokesperson for the first lady, who posted a photo of the two leaders on her X handle on Monday.
Kukoyi explained that the former president’s visit was to extend his Sallah greetings to the President’s wife in Lagos.
Kukoyi wrote, “Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu after receiving the Former President who came felicitating on the Sallah Celebration on Monday 17th June.”
On May 27, Obasanjo had criticized the Tinubu administration for poorly handling the removal of the fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira.
The former President acknowledged that while the policies were necessary, their execution was flawed.
According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo also disapproved of Nigeria’s response to the coup in the Republic of Niger, which he articulated at a colloquium in Abuja over the weekend focused on addressing Nigeria’s economic crisis and insecurity.
