Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday said President Muhammdu Buhari will continue to address him as ‘sir’ till he die having been his former boss in the military.

He said this at the 2018 Ibogun Day celebration, which attracted notable indigenes of Ogun State on Wednesday.

Also in attendance were: Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, two gubernatorial candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Allied People’s Movement (APM), Prince Gboyega Nasir Isiaka and Hon. Adekunle Akinlade, respectively.

Obasanjo said he had every right to criticise the president.

He spoke at the 2018 Ibogun Day Celebration in Ogun, Southwest Nigeria.

Obasanjo said, “I know Buhari and he, too, knows me. Till the day I die, Buhari will continue to address me as ‘Sir.’”

“I am qualified to speak against Buhari. One, I have done it before. Two, I have shed my blood for this country. Even my biological son has shed his blood. Why can’t I speak about what is best for this country? I am doubly qualified to do that.”
