Government criticism: Obasanjo wants Aisha Buhari to do more

Former Presdent Olusegun Obasanjo has reacted to recent criticism of the social intervention programmes of the Muhammadu Buhari government by his wife Aisha.
At a programme in Abuja, she described them as a failure, saying a N500bn intervention project did not reach the targets.
At a forum in Abeokuta, Obasanjo, a fierce critic of Buhari, okayed Aisha’s move but said she needed to engage Buhari privately on the matter.
According to a statement issued by his Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Monday, he spoke when he hosted the Editorial Board of a Social media platform, Penpushing Media, at his Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
Obasanjo was quoted as saying, “It is nice that President’s wife is talking, I think she did well, and maybe she should also have a pillow talk with the President. I believe every Nigerian family, individual, group is entitled to livelihood. And it is the responsibility of all to make sure we have a dignified life. That should be our aim collectively.”
