An old video of President Bola Tinubu urging former President Olusegun Obasanjo to retire from politics has resurfaced on social media, sparking renewed interest and discussions.

In the viral clip, President Tinubu is seen suggesting that Obasanjo step away from the political scene.

In response, the former president humorously asked Tinubu to find him another job, implying he would stop commenting on the country’s political affairs if given an alternative occupation.

The video dates back to a visit by Tinubu to Obasanjo’s residence during his campaign ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Its re-emergence comes amid growing criticism of Tinubu by Obasanjo. Since Tinubu assumed office as president in 2023, Obasanjo has been a vocal critic of his administration, prompting consistent responses from the government.

The President knows how to stoop to conquer.. He makes his foes feel comfortable while not sensing his moves.. That man is a 5 unit course.. Too ahead of every game.

In politics, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
