Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili has reacted to criticisms stemming from a picture taken at a public function in Lagos featuring herself and ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo.

The photo was taken on Tuesday at the launch of Obasanjo’s tell-all book, ‘My Watch’.

Ezekwesili tweeted about the criticisms which followed the photo saying she simply got a “boisterous greeting” from her former boss.

Here’s what she said: “My former boss – President Obasanjo – gave me a boisterous greeting at his event (Tuesday) and the impure in heart now turn it to lurid tales.

“Restoring family values will also help take us back to a descent society. It is clear that many among us have lost our pure hearts.

“Let us leave them to their lowliness. It is out of the abundance of the filthiness or purity of heart that the mouth speaks,” Ezekwesili tweeted.
