Former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba has said that former president Olusegun Obasanjo is envious of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

His comment comes in the wake of Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi as his preferred presidential candidate in the upcoming election.

Garba accused Obasanjo of not wanting any Yoruba man to supersede him while he still alive. However, they plan to invite him to the swearing-in ceremony of Tinubu.

Expressing his displeasure on Twitter, Garba, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress 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."

"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."
