Must Read: OBJ’s 80-Year-Old Friend Gives Him A “Birthday Advice” On His 76th Birthday

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has been advised to act like an elder statesman and not as an incumbent. The former president was given this advice by a former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Alhaji Lateef Okunnu.
Octogenarian Okunnu was a commissioner during General Yakubu Gowon's administration, and he celebrated his 80th birthday recently. The former Commissioner advised Obasanjo to stop dabbling into the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, either individually or through the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as he had served his terms as head of state, and equally made his marks.
Okunnu said "the best for him is to retire from active politics and become an elder-statesman." He also added: "Let me plead with General Obasanjo. He is no longer the president of this country. He should stop harassing successive presidents. Leave them alone… You have served your terms. You served, first as military head of state between 1976 and1979; three years and you served eight years as civilian president. Leave Jonathan alone to govern… Stop harassing him. Leave him alone to govern and retire gracefully as an elder statesman.
