Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, made this known via a piece titled, ‘Nigeria’s Unity and All The Iberiberism’, on Friday.

Adesina, in the piece, asked Obasanjo to mind his utterances as he also contributed to the current chaos in Nigeria.

He said, “And what of Olusegun Obasanjo, a civil war hero. Despite all that he has contributed to the current upheavals by his actions and inactions, words, and bile, he says it is idiotic to wish Nigeria disintegration now. Good.

“But let us put our money where our mouth is. Let Baba mind his thoughts and his language.
