Former Presidential candidate Adamu Garba has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of envying APC presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Garba, an APC chieftain, tweeted this after Obasanjo endorsed Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Obasanjo had endorsed Obi for the 2023 election in a lengthy New Year message to Nigerians, saying he was still the better candidate.
Garba, on the other hand, was unhappy with the endorsement and took to Twitter to express his frustration.
He wrote:
"Envy is an immense disease. I respect & continue to respect General Olusegun Obasanjo. However, I advise him to outgrow his envy of Tinubu at this stage of his life.
"Obasanjo is desperately envious of the rise and shine of Bola Ahmed Tinubu; his lost (sic) in this one is sure to come."
Garba also tweets that:
"It is a well known fact that Obasanjo never wanted any Yoruba man to grow above him while he’s still alive. Yet Bola Tinubu, his arch political rival, who dethroned him from South West Politics is about becoming the President of Nigeria. His actions should not surprise you.
"Obasanjo want to remain the only living Yoruba man to use the GCFR title. He never wanted anyone to get that. But we’ll promise him one thing, by God’s Grace, we’ll be inviting him to the swearing-in ceremony of Tinubu on May 29, 2023 as commander in chief and GCFR, insha Allah."
