Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba has claimed former President, Olusegun Obasanjo is envious of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Garba\u2019s statement was contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Sunday while reacting to Obasanjo\u2019s endorsement of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, for the forthcoming presidential election.<\/p>\n

Recall that Obasanjo had in a lengthy New Year message to Nigerians, endorsed Obi amongst other presidential candidates for the 2023 election, saying he remains a better candidate.<\/p>\n

However, the endorsement did not sit well with Garba, who took to his Twitter handle to express his displeasure.<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cEnvy is an immense disease. I respect & continue to respect General Olusegun Obasanjo. However, I advise him to outgrow his envy of Tinubu at this stage of his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cObasanjo is desperately envious of the rise and shine of Bola Ahmed Tinubu; his lost (sic) in this one is sure to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
