Obasanjo is the grand patron of corruption presidency hits back at former president

It seems like there's a juicy controversy brewing!

According to reports, the presidency has responded to a statement made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who was quoted as saying that he is the "grand patron of corruption" in Nigeria.

In a statement released by the presidency, it was claimed that Obasanjo's statement was a "desperate attempt to divert attention from his own corruption allegations" and that it was "unbecoming of a former head of state".

The presidency also accused Obasanjo of being "hypocritical" and "selective" in his criticism of corruption, pointing out that he had been involved in several corruption scandals during his time in office.

Obasanjo, who has been a vocal critic of the current administration, had earlier accused the government of being corrupt and had called for the prosecution of those involved in corrupt activities.

This latest exchange between the presidency and Obasanjo is just the latest in a long series of public spats between the two, with both sides trading barbs and accusations.

What do you think about this controversy? Do you think Obasanjo's statement was justified, or was it just a cheap shot?
