Obasanjo’s regime left democracy with mortal wounds — Tinubu’s Special Adviser
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communication and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has stated that Nigeria’s democracy endured severe setbacks under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
In a statement shared on his X account on Monday, Dare claimed that successive administrations struggled to rectify the damage left by Obasanjo and that President Tinubu is now making significant progress in addressing these issues.
According to Dare, Obasanjo has lost any moral authority to criticise the current government, stressing that he should apologise to Nigerians for failing to lay the necessary infrastructure for the country’s progress.
He said, “Democracy suffered mortal wounds under his watch, only exacerbated by his destructive obsession with an ill-fated third-term bid.“He is a man with a tremendous capacity for mischief, and Nigerians know it.
“His journey down the path of delusion has always been apparent, as has his descent into distorting facts, forgetting that he presided over a presidency that was among the most corrupt in history. His recent comments at Yale University lack sincerity.
