Obasanjo, an unrelenting
critic of the Buhari administration spoke in Abeokuta on Monday when he met a
delegation of Penpushing Media, who visited him
at his Penthouse in the Ogun State Capital.
“It is nice that the
President’s wife is talking, I think she did well, and maybe she should also
have a pillow talk with the President. I believe every Nigerian family,
individual, group is entitled to legitimate livelihood. It is the
responsibility of all to make sure we have a dignified life. That should be our
aim collectively,”Obasanjo reportedly said.
Aisha has in recent weeks
been critical of some of the programmes of the Buhari administration. Twice,
she attacked the Social Intervention Programme, which she claimed had not
reached the poor women of Adamawa and Katsina.
However, the SIP minders
had educated her about the reach of the programme and the beneficiaries in the
states she mentioned.
Penpushing further reported
that Obasanjo, canvassed for more advocacy and sensitization to get the desired
change in the country, adding that the media also has to play crucial role in
the mission to turn the country around for better.
The former President
emphasised that advocacy would raise awareness, “and we have to put all things
on the table to address these problems. Mind you, we have to be sincere and
genuine with ourselves’.
The Chairman Editorial
Board of Penpushing Media, Mrs Olufunke Fadugba said the visit was to intimate
the former President with the program of events for the 3rd anniversary lecture
of the organization scheduled to hold July 19.
