A prominent human rights lawyer, Jiti Ogunye, has made a veiled condemnation of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who on New Year day, endorsed the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi.
Ogunye, in a twitter post on Monday in a satirical means, described Obasanjo as a destroyer of the past and the present.
Though Ogunye did not mention Obasanjo throughout his post, not few discerning minds could arrive at the conclusion that his post was a reference to the former President. Ogunye wrote, “Grand commander of the failed republic ( GCFR),striving at twilight of earthly mischief to birth a better society. Destroyer of the past and present hypocritically and sanctimoniously posturing as inventor of a different future. Paradox!”
Obasanjo had expressed his support for Obi in a letter on Sunday signifying an end to all speculations who the former president would back for the 2023 election.
