Obasanjo Not Among Buhari’s Advisers - Oshiomhole

The former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday added his voice to those criticising former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his letter to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Obasanjo, apart from faulting the Buhari’s administration, also advised him not to seek re-election in 2019.

But speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Buhari, Oshiomhole said Obasanjo is not one of Buhari’s advisers.

He recalled that when Obasanjo was the President of the country he declared that he was at liberty to listen or not to listen to his advisers.


Since Obasanjo is not one of Buhari’s advisers, Oshiomhole said the ex-President should allow the President to make his own decisions.

The ex- governor said he was in the Villa to reassure Buhari of his absolute and total support for the government and even for 2019 elections.
