2027: Obasanjo working for Tinubu, support for Obi-Kwankwaso smokescreen — Malaolu

A public affairs analyst, Akin Malaolu, has claimed former President Olusegun Obasanjo is working for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

In a statement on Sunday, Malaolu said the former president’s support for Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso is a smokescreen.

According to him, Obasanjo is on a campaign to undermine the opposition parties in Nigeria.

“By this letter, Obasanjo has only confirmed the speculations that he is working for his kinsman, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to actualise his second-term ambition.

“The so-called Obasanjo’s support for Obi and Kwankwaso is a mere smokescreen aimed at masking his covert support for the Tinubu-led APC administration.”

Recall that Obasanjo had accused Atiku of allegedly bribing former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’Abba, to impeach him. However, in a reply, Atiku dismissed Obasanjo’s claim.
