Politics Tinubu Attacks Obasanjo in Fresh Interview

Bola Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC in
a recent interview with THE SUN Newspaper talked about former
President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Speaking about political battles he had fought Tinubu said, "The high
is when I survived as the only governor and one man standing on the
platform of the AD in the South West after the 2003 governorship
election. In leadership and political battles, you must be able to
recognize the talent of your opponent. Don't ever underestimate your
opponent particularly a personality like former President Obasanjo.
First, he is not just an Army General for nothing; they call their
overall fatigue uniform, camouflage. What does that mean? Deception!
They are trained in strategy, deception and tactics to defeat the
enemy.

''If you underestimate them, you do that at your own peril. If you now
recognize that quality in them, you know how to play the game with
them. There are some aspects of it that I cannot discuss here; they
are my own weapons tomorrow. When I started a journey of a tree that
can make a forest, the game is first of all, survive. I made it clear
that everybody should know that this friendship is laced with poison.
I kept the warning to everybody very loud. How can you trust a man
whose uniform is camouflage? How can I believe that he is my political
friend when I am in the opposition? No, draw the battle line."

"Obasanjo, during his time disobeyed court order on the disbursement
of money for local governments in Lagos but you knew where he was
coming from; you just had to be careful. That period was also a bit
challenging. There are different situations that you had to face with
different strategies.''
