Former President Olusegun Obasanjo paid a visit to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, on Monday to commemorate the Sallah celebration.

Busola Kukoyi, the First Lady's spokesman, confirmed this in a post on Monday with a photo of both leaders on her X handle.

According to Kukoyi, the previous president visited Lagos to celebrate with the President's wife.

She penned, "Former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, after receiving the former President who came felicitating on the Sallah celebration on Monday, 17th June."

On May 27, Obasanjo chastised the Tinubu administration for the inadequate implementation of the elimination of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira.

The former President stated that while the measures were important, they were improperly implemented.

According to a statement released to media by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo also denounced Nigeria's response to the coup in the Republic of Niger.


He was said to have spoken in Abuja at a colloquium titled "Nigeria's Development: Navigating the Way Out of the Current Economic Crisis and Insecurity."
