THE federal government has fired back at  ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo for critising President Muhammadu Buhari as well as advising him not to seek a second term in 2019.

Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, in his statement said Obasanjo was ignorant of Buhari’s achievements.

According to him, Obasanjo’s statement are mere distractions which portrayed him as not being aware of the damages done to the country by the government under former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said his principal’s achievement in office were evident for all to see, especially in the economic, security and agricultural sectors.

Nigeria will not have exited recession if not for the ingenuity of the current administration, the minister said.
