Back then, the president came on national TV to describe the song as thrashy and unpatriotic in a televised address. A few years later, reports indicate they met and made up.
However, with the 2015 general elections approaching, Eedris, who is now a die-hard supporter of incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, is not pleased with OBJ and he’s made his displeasure known in a recent interview with NET.
Situating his grouse with the former president, he said: ‘It’s not about settling anything, the point is about date, facts and time. OBJ left office and started writing letters, then he left Ogun State and travelled to Maiduguri to have a meeting with the Boko Haram dude, and 24hours later the guy’s brother in-law was killed. Then 4 months later he asked the president if he wants to negotiate with Boko Haram that he can talk to them, why didn’t he resolve it if he’s a true elder statesman. Don’t forget the Mohammed that baba went to visit was arrested and locked up during OBJ’s government and was released at about the same time Asari Dokubo was arrested in Aso Rock, so if you put two and two together you’ll know some of these things are intentional factors to humiliate and make the guy (Goodluck Jonathan) look like a fool, so people will be like if to say na OBJ he for don do this or do that. Come on, this is pure propaganda, but with Goodluck, Oluwa Is involved.’
Asked what his relationship with Obasanjo is at the moment, the outspoken rapper said: ‘Obasanjo is my friend and he’s my mugu.’
