Political commentator and former presidential aide, Obol
Okoi Obono-Obla has slammed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for suggesting
that Nigerian opposition parties should learn lessons from President Bassirou
Diomaye Faye’s victory in the Senegalese general elections.
Atiku had, in a post on his X handle, said Faye’s emergence
gives hope for the future of constitutional democracy in Nigeria and other
African countries.
“For us in Nigeria and elsewhere, there’s a huge lesson to
be learnt from the Senegal experience,” he wrote.
However, reacting in a statement on Saturday, Obono-Obla
said the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the
2023 general elections has a poor sense of history.
