Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has opened up about the rift between him and President Bola Tinubu when he was the governor of Lagos State.<\/p>\n

Obasanjo dismissed claims that he tried to cripple the economy of Lagos State when Tinubu was governor.<\/p>\n

In January 2023, Tinubu had recalled how Obasanjo seized the allocations of Lagos State when he was president.<\/p>\n

He said the seizure of the revenue of Lagos State by Obasanjo triggered his intellectual capacity and those of his lieutenants to make Lagos what it is today.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the ex-President described Tinubu\u2019s claim as nonsense.<\/p>\n

Asked about the allegation that he attempted to cripple the economy of Lagos, Obasanjo responded: \u201cThat was absolute nonsense. If he doesn\u2019t know, then he doesn\u2019t know anything. Is it that one that made him to have Alphabeta?\u201d<\/p>\n
