He was reacting to the former president’s latest lengthy written criticism against the Buhari-led administration.
Among his other scathing statements, Obasanjo had alleged plans by Buhari to rig the 2019 elections.
Tinubu said, “You can hear the other expired leaders like Obasanjo, ranting and lying. Don’t believe him, don’t trust him. He is expired.
“With the sign of senility experienced by our dear brother, Uncle Obasanjo, I think Ota should be enough a retirement place to keep quiet.”
