A former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has suffered something of a betrayal after his son, OIujonwo, joined Buhari’ campaign team.
Obasanjo has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with Buhari’s government and had even endorsed long-time foe, Atiku Abubakar.
According to Premium Times, Olujonwo was welcomed at the headquarters office of the Buhari Campaign Organisation by Director of Logistics, Buhari Campaign Organisation, Nasiru Danu.

Lauretta Onochie also confirmed the development.
