Former Ogun State Governor, Olusegun Osoba also criticized ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo for saying that Yorubas have no leader.

Former Ogun State Governor, Olusegun Osoba has condemned ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo for being overly critical and refusing to see good in anyone.

The former governor also criticized Obasanjo for saying that Yorubas have no leader.

Osoba made the comments while speaking to journalists in Lagos on Saturday, August 8, 2015.

He said:

“I would not like to judge Chief Obasanjo because as I am trying to put the facts straight, I don’t want to join him in condemnation of individuals. I respect him for his own strong points and weaknesses. But one thing I disagree with him is his condemnation of virtually everybody and even those around him.”

“Wole Soyinka is not good, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is not good, Atiku Abubakar is not good, Reuben Abati is useless, Doyin Okupe is not to be associated with. Who then is good?”

“Wole Soyinka is a hero, Ebenezer Obey is a hero; he recorded over 50 records and delivered philosophical lyrics. Akintola Williams, an Egba man, is the first accountant and is still worshipped today. Society is the totality of a team. A tree can never make a forest and that is where I disagree with Chief Obasanjo. To reduce Soyinka to a wine connoisseur hurts me.”

Osoba also described Obasanjo’s controversial autobiography ‘My Watch’, as a distortion of history.
