Some of these controversies comes from an unexpected angles, even though, the relationship between the former President and current president has being stained by the purpoted letter wrote by the former to the later.
It will be unthinkable and unforgivable from some angle to forget to felicitate with the former president on occasion of his birthday.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday failed to circulate a public statement congratulating former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his 81st birthday.
The action is a clear deviation from the presidency's tradition of felicitating with former heads of state and some top Nigerian dignitaries on their birthday anniversaries.
It is also contrary to what Mr. Buhari did last year when from his hospital bed in London, he telephoned Mr. Obasanjo to congratulate him on his 80th birthday.
A transcript of that conversation circulated by the presidency at the time quoted the president as describing Mr. Obasanjo as "a true citizen of the world."
