"I Have Worked With Buhari For More Than 7 Years Without Official Car, House," Buhari's Aide Kicks Obidients

  • President Muhammadu Buhari's special assistant on digital and new media, Tolu Ogunlesi, has attacked Peter Obi's supporters for condemning him for listing his employer's achievements
  • Ogunlesi wondered why his critics had a problem with him listing Buhari's achievements when they also list Obi's achievements without being attacked
  • The APC chieftain added that he is just an ordinary person like every other Nigerian, as his seven years with the president did not grant him any special status

Tolu Ogunlesi, the special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on digital and new media, has lashed out at those who criticised him for outlining the achievements of the present administration.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in a podcast interview on Twitter, lamented that people were condemning him for outlining the achievement of the administration he worked for while opposition parties also outline their candidates' achievements.

He said he also experiences what ordinary Nigerians experience on the street, as he has not been privileged to have an official car, driver, house and other benefits enjoyed by political appointees.

His statement reads:

"Why do you have issues with what has been done? The Peter Obi that you're supporting. Is he not going to come and do stuff as well? When he does those stuff, are you not going to say he did these stuff?
"The people that are supporting Peter Obi, are they not telling us he did this and this in Anambra?
"So, how is it a problem when I come, a job that I have done for 7 years, to highlight the things that my government has done?"

Ogunlesi says working with Buhari for seven years has not changed his status from an ordinary citizen

He queried how, according to critics, his status not changing has become a way of him downplaying the challenges that Nigerians are facing.

The APC chieftain added:

"In case you do not know, I have worked for the president for 7 years, I do not have an official house, I do not have an official car, I do not have an official driver, I do everything that you do as a citizen."
