Democracy Suffered Mortal Wounds Under Obasanjo’s ‘Corrupt’ Presidency – Sunday DareDemocracy Suffered Mortal Wounds Under Obasanjo’s ‘Corrupt’ Presidency
In a scathing rebuke, Sunday Dare, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Public Communication and Orientation, has criticized former President Olusegun Obasanjo for his recent remarks against the current administration.
Obasanjo, speaking at a leadership forum at Yale University, attributed Nigeria’s failing state status to “widespread corruption, poor leadership, and immorality” under Tinubu’s “go slow” watch.
He also accused the political elite of engaging in “state capture” and manipulating national policies and resources for personal gains.

Dare swiftly responded, questioning Obasanjo’s moral right to censure Tinubu’s government.
“Democracy suffered mortal wounds under his watch,” Dare posted on his X page on Monday.
He described Obasanjo as “a man with a tremendous capacity for mischief” and Nigerians are well aware of it.
Dare’s statement further highlighted Obasanjo’s alleged corruption during his presidency.

His words: His journey along the path of hallucinations has never been in doubt. So is his descent into muddling facts, forgetting that he ran a Presidency on record as the most corrupt.
“His recent diatribe at Yale University lacks sincerity.
“We all know what happened under his watch and how, up till the present moment, there has been no explanation as to how he wasted a whopping $16bn in generating megawatts of darkness across the nation.”
The Special Adviser emphasized that Obasanjo should apologize to Nigerians for failing to establish foundational infrastructure for the country’s advancement.
Instead of criticizing successors, Dare suggested Obasanjo should reflect on his contributions to Nigeria’s current state, which President Tinubu is working to rectify.
Dare concluded: “Democracy suffered mortal wounds under his watch only capped by his murderous rage for an ill-fated 3rd term.
“We thank former president Obasanjo for agreeing that ‘Yes, there is hope’. That’s the Renewed Hope Agenda president Tinubu is about and it’s on track.”
This exchange underscores the ongoing tensions between Obasanjo and the current administration, with each side trading barbs over Nigeria’s leadership and development.
