‘He(Obasanjo) should remember what happened to him during the time of former Head of State, General Sanni Abacha, how he was treated by Abacha government. Baba was set up for conspiracy coup. I am using this medium to tell him to distance himself from Sheikh Gumi’, he emphasised.

Penpushing further reports that, Folabi  also stressed need for Obasanjo to keep away from Buhari’s administration, and gave reason, adding  that this became necessary in view of music the administration is reeling out, which he said may not be palatable, and sounds replica of Abacha’s regime.

‘Due to the music the present administration is singing, we are alerted that some people are planning to overthrow his government. Baba should distance himself from Gumi, because I would not like to see whereby, they will rubbish my daddy (Obasanjo),because Baba is my daddy, I love him very much’, Folabi emphasised

Penpushing also reports that, it is recalled that, Gumi had on Thursday while receiving the parents of the freed students explained the role of the former president in the pact to secure the release of the kidnapped students.

“The role myself and former President Olusegun Obasanjo played in the release of the 27 Afaka students is the role of mediators because the fight is not between us and them (bandits) but between the bandits and the government,” ,he said
