Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo clocked 81 yesterday with congratulatory messages coming from
well-wishers and critics alike.
Among those who sent their
goodwill were former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Senate President Bukola
Saraki, former Senate President, David Mark, Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun
State, former Deputy Governor Iyiola Omisore of Osun State, the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Conspicuously missing among the
well-wishers was President Muhammadu Buhari, whose office has a media team with
a template of congratulatory messages for eminent personalities celebrating
birthdays.
One such message was sent to
former Super Eagles Coach, Adegboye Onigbinde, who clocked 80 on Sunday.
Monday was rather dedicated to
hosting President George Weah of Liberia and the beginning of Buhari’s trips to
some troubled states.
The last time Buhari sent
Obasanjo a congratulatory message was on January 21 to celebrate the
ex-President’s acquisition of a PhD at the National Open University (NOUN).
Obasanjo reciprocated two days
later with a blistering letter calling Buhari’s government a failure and
advising him not to seek re-election in 2019.
The government responded that
Obasanjo had been too busy to notice how Buhari was clearing the mess
purportedly left behind by previous administrations.
