APC points Obasanjo out over criticism of Tinubu’s reforms

134Posted inNews, Nigeria, Politics3 minutes

The ruling All Progressives Congress has faulted former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s criticism of the current administration’s handling of its ongoing reforms and the coup d’etat in Niger Republic.

Obasanjo had knocked President Bola Tinubu’s implementation of the removal of subsidy from petroleum products as well as the floating of naira.

In the past few months, the masses have continued to groan over the rising cost of food items and inflation following the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira by the Tinubu government.

In a statement made available to journalists on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo said though the policies initiated by Tinubu were necessary, they were wrongly implemented.

The ex-President, according to the statement, spoke in Abuja at the weekend at a colloquium tagged: “Nigeria’s Development: Navigating the Way Out of the Current Economic Crisis and Insecurity.”

“Today, the government has taken three decisions, two of which are necessary but wrongly implemented and have led to the impoverisation of the economy and of Nigerians. These are the removal of subsidy, closing the gap between the black market and official rates of exchange and the third is dealing with a military coup in Niger Republic,” Obasanjo said.

It was the first time he would be openly criticising Tinubu, whom he did not support to become President.

But reacting on Monday, the APC National Director, Bala Ibrahim, faulted Obasanjo, whom he described as a serial critic.

Ibrahim told reporters that he feared the former President might be manifesting signs of old age.

He said, “As a Nigerian and someone who respects Obasanjo, I think senility is beginning to come in. Obasanjo is beginning to manifest the symptoms.

“Ever since he lost the bid to have a third term in office, he has consistently attacked every regime that comes after him. He sees himself as the only one who meant well for Nigeria from independence to date. He thinks he is the best and every other leader is bad. And this is not good for a statesman. Nobody has monopoly on knowledge or style of leadership.

“Obasanjo has been consistent in his criticisms of people in leadership positions apart from himself. So, this is not an isolated case. President Bola Tinubu is not the first to be attacked by Obasanjo. Buhari and Jonathan were also victims of his criticisms. He himself did not fare better when he was the leader. In fact, Obasanjo superintended the balkanisation of the Nigerian economy.

“How can he say someone who is trying to put the economy on a better pedestal is not doing the right thing? I am not a spokesman for Tinubu. Even though the party has discussed him to my knowledge, I practically feel Obasanjo has erred as he has always been doing.”

    https://www.diveboard.com/jasonejohnson11/posts/the-complete-guide-to-choosing-the-right-gas-fireplace-for-your-home-B2YtU2O When I first began researching gas fireplaces, I didn’t expect the market to be this diverse. There are major differences between brands in terms of construction materials, burner systems, and flame presentation. Going through detailed specs and user experiences helped me understand what actually matters in the long run — things like maintenance access, fuel efficiency, and consistent performance. It’s definitely not something you want to choose purely based on price or visual design alone

    https://writefreely.ethibox.fr/larrybrown190/experience-ultimate-home-comfort-with-a-gas-fireplace We spent time on a long process selecting a gas fireplace during a home renovation, and what stood out the most was how various brands handle heat output and installation details. Some models are clearly designed for aesthetics first, while others prioritize consistent heat delivery. It was helpful to compare venting methods, control features, and maintenance considerations before choosing a final model. For anyone planning a similar upgrade, it’s worth spending time learning how gas fireplaces actually perform during regular use, not just how they appear in marketing images.

    During my research on space heaters, I noticed that Comfort Glow heaters are often mentioned in discussions about basic efficiency and safety features. For compact spaces or additional heat, those factors tend to be more important than raw power.

    Looking at various heater manufacturers helped me understand how air circulation, temperature control, and safety mechanisms affect long-term comfort. It’s not always about the highest heat level, but about steady performance and safe operation over time.
