What caused the fallout with President Olusegun Obasanjo, and how do you respond to his criticism?
There is a volume of editorial opinions concerning the working relationship between me and President Obasanjo. I believe the country has moved past those details and exchanges. The issues ahead of the country are far more serious than personal issues between two people. It is undisputable that the government that I had the privilege to run as deputy to President Obasanjo is the best era in the political leadership of our great country.
