Speaking on Obasanjo’s allegation, TMG’s chairman, Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi said that the former President’s claims sound unreal.

Akiyode-Afolabi however said that the issues raised by Obasanjo needs to be looked into.

“This does not sound like a real threat though. However, the former President has raised an issue that deserves attention, he needs to prove since he has alleged the existence of threats.

“However, nobody is above the law, if he has questions to answer, the Government should be free to take him up on it.

“The war against corruption should have no bounds.”
