He wrote, “Considering the economic destruction, looting and massacres that occurred during his disastrous eight-year tenure, Muhammadu Buhari deserves NO happiness on his birthday”.
Reacting to Sowore’s post via the comment section, Igbokwe described the remark as unbelievable and unacceptable.

“This is total madness and I hope he realizes the magnitude of what he is doing. This is madness taken too far in the name of Alutta continua.”
‘You’ve Written To Shame Or Disgrace Presidents After You’ – Garba Shehu Hits Obasanjo On Buhari’s Birthday
Meanwhile, former spokesman to ex-president, Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, has slammed former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, in a birthday tribute to his principal on his 82nd birthday.
Naija News reports that Shehu, in his birthday message to Buhari, criticised Obasanjo for undermining his successors and always writing to disgrace them or outrightly calling for their removal after an election.
The former presidential spokesman praised Buhari for staying away from Abuja to give the new administration space to stabilise.
He also noted that since completing his tenure on May 29, 2023, Buhari had only visited the nation’s capital twice, keeping his promise to stay far from Abuja to avoid casting a shadow on the new administration
Shehu highlighted that Buhari now enjoys a simple routine, which includes staying updated with the news, spending time with his grandchildren, meeting guests, and inspecting his farm while indulging in his love for reading and watching TV shows.
He said, “On the other hand, since leaving office, first as a military leader and subsequently as an elected president after two terms, President Olusegun Obasanjo has called and written to every head of state after him to put them to shame or disgrace, and in some cases, outrightly asking for their resignation or ouster in the next election.
“The former president said to the hearing of everyone that once he handed over to his successor on May 29, 2023, he would be as far away from the nation’s capital, Abuja, so as not to cast a shadow over the new administration, to give them the space to effectively take off and stabilise without distractions. Being willing to renounce power is his extraordinarily admirable trait.
“Since leaving office, he visited Abuja just twice: first to officiate at the launch of Femi Adesina’s brilliant book Working With Buhari, and the second time as a guest of President Bola Tinubu when they convened a meeting of the Council of State.”
