Tinubu's aide tackles Ezekwesili
In a swift response to Ezekwesili, Tinubu's aide, Ajayi, described the former minister intervening in public affairs as 'reckless and indisciplined'.

"In a manner typical of her, she has jumped on the Atiku Abubakar's groundless Chicago State University matter in deference to her base instincts.
"Every matter is an opportunity for Madam Oby to play to the gallery. Having attained certain level and public status in life, a measure of decorum is expected."
Netizens react
Meanwhile, some Nigerians took to the comment session to also slam the former minister for her social media post that aimed a dig at President Tinubu.

"You’re expecting sense from nonsense. Don’t bother, it won’t come.
"Medhi Hassan’s question about whether her former boss and ‘bosom friend’ is corrupt is still hanging in the air, she can’t answer.
"Not a word from her on the destruction in the SE till date. Shameless hypocrite."
