Former President Olusegun Obasanjo visited First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu on Monday to celebrate Sallah. This was disclosed by the First Lady’s spokesperson, Busola Kukoyi, in a post on her X handle, accompanied by a photo of both leaders.

Kukoyi noted that the former president visited to extend his Sallah greetings to the President’s wife in Lagos. She wrote, “Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, after receiving the former President who came felicitating on the Sallah celebration on Monday, 17th June.”

Previously, on May 27, Obasanjo had criticized the Tinubu administration for its poor implementation of the fuel subsidy removal and the floating of the naira. While acknowledging the necessity of these policies, he argued that they were executed improperly.

In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo also condemned Nigeria’s handling of the coup in the Republic of Niger. He expressed these views during a colloquium in Abuja titled “Nigeria’s Development: Navigating the Way Out of the Current Economic Crisis and Insecurity.”
