Spokesperson of the President
Muhammadu Buhari’s Campaign Organization, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has reacted to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s claim that he is the President’s boss.
Recall that Obasanjo
made the claim in an event to commemorate his 82nd birthday anniversary, which
held at the Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
The elder statesman had said:
“Buhari; there is nothing personal between me and him … I am his boss, with all
due respect.
“The point is that I have been in
that position longer than any Nigerian will ever be there.”
“You see that in a democracy, to
criticise a policy of government is not a family affair; even if it is my
brother that is there and is not doing the things that I believe he should do,
he must be criticised.
“That is what democracy is all
about. So, if I say anybody in government in Nigeria or any government in
Africa is not doing well, let that government prove that it is doing well; it
is not taking things personally,” he reiterated.
Reacting in a post on his Twitter
handle on Wednesday, Keyamo said if there’s anyone to be handed the title of
‘boss of all bosses’, Yakubu Gowon was deserving having held the record of
longest unbroken reign as Head-of-State and a military senior to Obasanjo.
His words: “Just to set the
records straight: The boss of ALL bosses today in Nigeria is Gen. Yakubu Gowon
who holds the record of the SINGLE longest unbroken rein as Head-of-State.
“He’s senior to ALL. And his
access is always guaranteed. He goes into the Villa ANYTIME to offer useful
advice”
