Obasanjo Critiques Osoba's Book, Faces Backlash

Olusegun Obasanjo, the former leader of Nigeria, recently sent a letter to Akinrogun Olusegun Osoba, the former governor of Ogun State, criticizing aspects of Osoba's 2018 book, "BATTLELINES, Adventures in Journalism and Politics." Osoba, described as a reflective statesman, chose to respond with dignity, allowing the public to judge Obasanjo's character based on his documented misdeeds. The article suggests that Obasanjo's attempts to correct his image through this correspondence are misguided and only serve to highlight his perceived hypocrisy as a leader.

It notes that Obasanjo's actions reflect a delusion of grandeur, as he struggles with the consequences of his past decisions. The narrative also touches on Obasanjo's opposition to other prominent figures, including Bola Tinubu and Chief Obafemi Awolowo, indicating a pattern of envious behavior throughout his political career.
