Olusegun Obasanjo's Letter to Former Governor Olusegun Osoba Sparks Debate

Former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo sent an unprovoked letter to former Ogun State governor Olusegun Osoba, taking issue with Osoba's 2018 book *Battlelines, Adventures in Journalism and Politics*. In the missive, Obasanjo sought to challenge the book’s portrayal of his past actions, describing the correspondence as an attempt to correct the public record. Osoba responded with measured equanimity, leaving the assessment of Obasanjo’s legacy to the public. The exchange has prompted commentary on Obasanjo’s lingering influence and the broader discourse surrounding political memoirs in Nigeria.
