By Fred Edoreh From time, I had never been excited about Gen Olusegun Obasanjo’s personality and his letters. I am very conversant with the fact that, besides training in handling of weapons, military generals are deft contrivers of lies, propaganda, decoy and deception with which they can win wars by simply confusing and creating disaffection across lines even before firing a shot. From the coups of Major Kaduna Nzeogwu through Gens Murtala Mohammed, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha, the sing-song that sustained them was the propaganda of corruption against the civilian class of leaders while, in actual fact,…

By Dele Alake On the whole, the latest epistolary misadventure by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is a gratuitous insult on the collective intelligence of Nigerians. In particular, his laborious attempt to prey on the innocence of much younger generation constitutes a grievous assault on public morality, seeking to force morsels of sheer falsehood down the throats of a demography perhaps too young to comprehend events which Obasanjo furiously tried to misrepresent. It is noteworthy that it was the Obasanjo administration that abolished the teaching of history in Nigerian schools ostensibly to aid this kind of historical revisionism he routinely engages in;…

Thanks for seeking our reaction. Former President Obasanjo is so well known to all that no one needs to describe who he is. But, four things we will like to say: One is that he will not stop attacking President Muhammadu Buhari because the former President won’t stop being jealous of anyone who beats him to a new record in the nation’s development process. President Buhari is ahead of Chief Obasanjo in all fields of national development and to do that is cardinal sin to Obasanjo whose hallucinations tell him that he is the best ever to lead Nigeria and…
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has been accused of obtaining $300,000 from his Deputy, Mr Philip Shaibu, under the false pretence of settling the cost of procuring the governorship ticket of the PDP in the state following his late and controversial switch to the party in 2020 to seek re-election.

He made the shocking revelation to some party stakeholders who visited his residence seeking an explanation on…
