Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Information and Strategy has taken to his official X account to react after former President, Olusegun Obasanjo said the current administration has failed.
According to PREMIUM TIMES, Obasanjo said;
“The failure of governance in Nigeria manifests in the declining capacity of political leaders to recognize systemic risks such as election fraud, terrorist attacks, herder-farmer conflict, armed banditry, and police brutality and put in place the necessary measures to navigate these challenges”.
Reacting, Bayo Onanuga said during the regime of Obasanjo, professor Chinua Achebe rejected the third highest national honour bestowed on him.
According to Bayo Onanuga;
“It is on record that Professor Achebe rejected the third highest national honour bestowed on him by the Obasanjo-led administration in 2004 on the grounds of the prevalence of abuse of power, corruption, poor leadership, and, in particular, state-sponsored brigandage endorsed by Chief Obasanjo in Achebe’s home state of Anambra. In Anambra, the former president actively supported the abduction of a sitting governor, Dr Chris Ngige, by non-state actors led by Chris Uba, a younger brother of Obasanjo’s senior aide”.
