Obasnjo had done nothing wrong, nigeria is simply multiculture with her complex proplems.
what do you want to say about IBB,was power stable during his time ,was everyhing okay .poeple are afriad to talk because of killers squad. He did nothing and took all money. Ask me about Shagari and Abacha. Do you know how much money that was put into private pokets. Is power supply stable during these poeples time. Did they tried it, what was thier agenda, nothing, but nothing.
If Obj were to be from the North no one would have complain about his time .
Obasanjo had plans for Nigeria but was not allowed to carried them out. We shall all see what is going to be the result of the present government.
Today, IBB is making noise and plan to assist Yar dua he was to be locked up
Ibb is the worst citizen of nigeria.

On Obasanjo and his critics | Print | E-mail
Written by Douglas Anele
Sunday, 23 March 2008
AT the beginning of his tenure as a civilian president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo enjoyed some degree of goodwill amongst Nigerians who felt that he has the necessary experience to provide result-oriented leadership for the country.
That was the encouraging scenario when Obasanjo appointed respected Nigerians like late Chief Bola Ige and Professor Bath Nnaji as ministers. Chief Obasanjo created the EFCC and the then National Assembly gave the bill creating the anti-corruption body legal backing.

Over the years, basically in his pronouncements as president, Obasanjo tried assiduously to convince the Nigerians and the international community that he was determined to fight corruption, especially at the topmost levels of public life.

Some highly placed Nigerians alleged to be “enemies” of the president were investigated by the EFCC. In this connection, former governors of Bayelsa and Plateau states, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and Joshua Dariye became infamous for gubernatorial looting, so to speak.

Meanwhile, there were indications that Chief Obasanjo himself was not really impervious to the miasma of corruption. His critics cited the presidential library project, the two hundred million so-called “blind trust” shares in Transcorp and others to prove that the erstwhile president could not resist the magnetic pull of easy money using the apparatus of government.

Now that Obasanjo is out of power, the gargantuan level of corruption perpetuated during his presidency is gradually becoming well known, which means that all along he had been pretending to Nigerians to be a “Mr. Clean” who has zero tolerance for corruption with the iron will to combat it. It is unnecessary to spell out in details here some of the shameful acts of perfidy allegedly committed by Chief Obasanjo.

But I wish to note that he has two qualities which anyone aspiring to be an effective Nigerian president must have in order to achieve some measure of success. The first one is self-confidence. In his speeches, mannerisms and interactions with subordinates, Chief Obasanjo exudes an aura of self-confidence which creates the unmistakable impression of someone who is really in charge.

The second trait, which is connected to the first, is stubbornness. Chief Obasanjo is a stubborn man. He is the type of person that can take a decision and stand by it, despite pressures on him either to change such a decision or not to take it at all.

As an example of the latter, the indefatigable director-general of NAFDAC, Professor Dora Akunyili, in a recent interview revealed that when Chief Obasanjo appointed her to her current post, there was serious opposition to the appointment from different quarters. But Chief Obasanjo refused to change his mind.

Therefore, most critics of the former president are usually uncharitable to him. They fail to acknowledge the positive decisions of the former president which stem from those very character traits of the man which they condemn so trenchantly.

I am firmly convinced that, all things considered, Chief Obasanjo performed below average during his eight year tenure. Yet, objectively speaking, one must call attention to the fact that he did a few things right, and could have achieved more if he had the moral stamina to put in abeyance his own selfish interests by working for the well-being of Nigerians.

It is tragic that Chief Obasanjo did not utilise well the great opportunity he had for eight years to rebuild Nigeria, considering the quantum leap in the amount received from crude oil exploits. He presented a picture of an honest Christian devoted to the progress of his fatherland.

In his rhetoric as president, he orchestrated the war against corruption, occasionally enlisted the services of selected prominent clergymen in prayer sessions, and repeatedly emphasized that for his administration it was no longer business as usual.

Corrupt administrations

Since Chief Obasanjo left office in May 29, 2007 it is becoming increasingly clear that he presided over one of the most corrupt administrations in Nigeria.

For a large number of Nigerians, the dishonour of being the worst kleptomaniac regime before Obasanjo came into power as a civilian president belonged squarely to Ibrahim Babangida’s tenure. But the sordid revelations at the probe panel in the House of Representatives regarding the expenditure of about sixteen billion dollars in the comatose power sector threaten to make Obasanjo’s tenure from 1999 to 2007 the worst in terms of conscienceless misuse of public funds, thereby displacing Babangida’s regime from that enviable status.

Details of how the high and mighty, so-called senators, honourables, chiefs and other pigs in the animal farm called Nigeria debased themselves by collecting funds for contracts either shoddily executed or not executed at all makes the stomach churn with disgust.

It is clear that Chief Obasanjo, and two former ministers of power and steel, Liyel Imoke and Olusegun Agagu, have serious questions to answer concerning the scandal surrounding the integrated power project.

It is an understatement to describe the revelations at the probe panel as a debasement; it is perfidy of the worst kind. One can conjecture the amount of financial mismanagement in the petroleum sector controlled directly by Chief Obasanjo and his cronies. The most critical impediment to industrial, economic, social and scientific development of Nigeria , apart from mediocre leadership, is inadequate supply of electricity.

Therefore, it is wicked for the leaders, knowing the pivotal role of electricity in national development, to steal with impunity scarce funds earmarked for power projects.

If I were a supporter of death penalty, I would have suggested that those found guilty of corruption in the power projects probe should be executed by crucifixion, so that they would feel the excruciating pains of the people whose lives have been made bitter by consistent power outages.

Chief Obasanjo is a lucky man; he had the best opportunity, more than any Nigerian dead or alive, to build a great Nigeria. Sadly, he misused the opportunity, perhaps because he lacked what the German philosopher, G.W.F Hegel, called “cool passion”.

In other words, Obasanjo lacked a philosophical understanding of the essence of his mission as a leader of the most populous black country in the world.

The inability of Obasanjo to see himself as an instrument for the historic mission of positive transformation of Nigeria was manifest in his inability to separate, both imaginatively and concretely, his interests as an individual from the much more important interests of Nigerians, especially the poor and underprivileged.

It appears that for Obasanjo and members of his family, cronies and “alleluia chorus boys and girls”, Nigeria is a vast reservoir of easy money which should be depredated for personal enrichment beyond the bounds of reason.

Thus, it happens that Obasanjo has, by his own bad choices and decisions, sullied his not-so-so-good reputation which he had before assuming office in 1999. It is one of the intriguing twists and turns of history that a man who believed he has what it takes to provide good leadership for his people ended up attracting to himself a lot of odium and opprobrium from the very people he was supposed to serve.

This leads me to the recent criticisms of Obasanjo by Anthony Anenih, Atiku Abubakar, and Theophilus Danjuma, widely reported in the media. In my view, these three “big men” should keep their over-fed mouths shut and stop adding insult to open wounds they and Obasanjo, together with other primitive accumulators in government inflicted on our people.

All these men played prominent roles in the nightmare that lasted from 1999 till date. Superficially, it would appear that the scales have fallen off their eyes, and, now, they can see clearly the logs in Obasanjo’s eyes, so to speak. Anenih, it is generally known, was a supporter of the vainglorious and wrongheaded agitation for the continuation of late Sani Abacha as head of state. As a minister of Works, it is alleged that he spent about N300 billion on roads, with little to show for it.

Atiku’s reputation as a customs officer is far from being squeaky clean, and as Obasanjo’s vice president he presided over the privatization programme of the federal government in which some of our national assets were sold at give away prices to people in power, members of their families, friends, relations and cronies.

Danjuma played a big ignoble part, according to Chuks Iloegbunam’s Ironside, in the murder of J.T.U Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria ‘s first military head of state. Lately, Danjuma has been castigating the late Aguiyi-Ironsi who, while alive, was his superior by far, for no good reason. All the three men are very wealthy.

They, including the subject of their criticisms, are part of the hunchbacks which have been weighing the country down especially since the end of the civil war. Until these morally uncultivated men and their ilk are rendered impotent in the geopolitical power equation of this country, the legitimate aspirations of Nigerians for a better future would be like the experience of waiting for Godot, as described by that maverick writer Samuel Beckett.

obasanjo reminds me of charles taylor of liberia. he brainwashed many and took advantage of his people and country all for self desire.

The trial of Olusegun Obasanjo

By Reuben Abati

THE on-going House of Representatives probe of expenditures in the power sector during the Obasanjo years has so far resulted in mind-boggling revelations about the abuse of due process, award of contracts to non-existing companies; the use of illegal Special Purpose Vehicles, misappropriation of public funds, and a gross failure of leadership. Reading the reports of the testimonies before the House of Reps Committee on Power, or watching the proceedings on television, many Nigerians cringe in utter frustration.

The power sector probe is the latest in a series of efforts apparently aimed at a systematic dismantling of the Obasanjo era, and the explosion of the myths upon which that government hoisted its claim to importance. The Obasanjo government advertised itself as a government that was committed to due process, transparency and integrity. President Obasanjo, with the EFCC as vehicle, was a corruption cop in power.

Gradually, however, Nigerians are being shown with facts, figures and words, that at work for eight years, under the former President is a tyranny of hypocrisy. The power sector, where $16 billion was allegedly spent and no result was recorded, with the nation in perpetual darkness is only a tip of a shaky iceberg. If the probe were to be extended to other sectors of the economy, it is easy to imagine that more myths would collapse. Former stakeholders in that government are being summoned by the House of Representatives to give evidence. I used the word "systematic" earlier. I do so advisedly. It is as if there is an organised attack on the Obasanjo government by the same government that he helped to bring to power.

This began very early in the life of the Yar'Adua administration with the reversal of some of the policies of the Obasanjo government. President Yar'Adua had campaigned on a platform of continuity. He is not continuing with anything. He has not started anything of his own, but he is subjecting the past to a searing dissection. Obasanjo - his persona, his legacy, his leadership - that is what is on trial. Students of leadership and management should find in the Obasanjo story, an interesting case study on power and leadership.

Why is the Yar'Adua government taking the Obasanjo government apart and exposing it to ridicule? I can hazard two guesses. One, Yar'Adua who began his career as President as Obasanjo's anointed candidate needs to prove that he is his own man, not Obasanjo's puppet. What better way to assert himself than to distance himself from the past? Two, it is possible that President Yar'Adua has been confronted with so much that is rotten in the Obasanjo government that he feels a sense of duty, if not patriotism, to remove the mask and put an end to Obasanjo's grandstanding.

Hence, many of the things done under President Obasanjo are being upturned: the sale of government houses, the monetisation of benefits for public servants; the revocation of plots of land in Abuja, the sale of refineries, And every step that has been taken in these regards by the Yar'Adua government has been met with broad-based public approval. In addition, the de-mystification of Obasanjo on all fronts, has emboldened those who feel aggrieved towards him to take potshots at him.

How does Obasanjo feel? What is going on in his mind? He has been quoted as boasting that he "dey kampe". But is he? Does he not feel hurt? Does he not feel betrayed by a man he had made President because he considers him family and believes he would help to preserve his legacy? Does he not feel helpless, seeing how he has lost his troop of old loyalists? Every leader looks forward to being honoured and accepted after leaving office. Obasanjo, all of a sudden, is a lonely man. His persona is under assault. His legacy is unravelling. His enemies are rolling on the floor holding their ribs as they try to stifle an unending flow of laughter from their throats. I have met only very few people who express any form of pity.

Besides the probe of his government and the exposure of its limitations, there is trouble on the home front too. Obasanjo's beloved daughter who is now a Senator has been associated with a number of controversial deals. Her father of course, is the main target. His son, the most visible of his sons while he was in office, has also accused Obasanjo of incest - of having an affair with his wife, and giving her contracts as compensation. There is problem in the community too. When President Obasanjo was quoted as having said he was trapped in the traffic between Sango-Ota where he lives and Lagos, a concerned public felt he should blame himself. In the course of a trip to Ekiti state, he was booed by his audience.

Across Yorubaland, his ethnic constituency, there are very few places where Obasanjo can give a speech in public and expect an ovation. He is most likely to be heckled. Within his political party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP), the situation is the same, here the storm is heavy. In the run-up to the PDP National Convention held in Abuja on March 8, it will be recalled that General Obasanjo in his position as Chairman of the party's Board of Trustees had openly campaigned for some candidates and particularly for Dr. Sam Egwu, former Governor of Ebonyi state, whom he wanted as Chairman of the Party. This incensed many members of the party.

Obasanjo's main supporter was Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu who boasted that Obasanjo would have his way. On March 8, both men were made to eat their words. A section of the party is even agitating for a review of the party's Constitution and Obasanjo's removal as Chairman of the BOT. In the past, no one would dare oppose Obasanjo. He held both the party and the country under his grip. His word was law. But now, on a daily basis, Obasanjo is being reminded that he no longer wields power. He had used power so viciously that Nigerians whenever they are privileged to do so, feel obliged to remind him of the change in his status. March 5 was his 71st birthday; there were very few congratulatory adverts in the papers.

When he turned 70 in 2007, the Baba-kee-pe adverts in the papers were so many. At a recent event in remembrance of his late friend and colleague, General Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, Chief Tony Anenih who was asked to give the opening prayer, had turned the prayer into a verbal assault on Obasanjo who was present at the occasion. Anenih had prayed that God should grant President Yar'Adua the courage to investigate the rot left behind by the previous administration. Anenih's prayer may reflect public sentiments, but he, Anenih is part of the rot that he was praying about. He used to be Obasanjo's friend.

For the better part of the Obasanjo era, Anenih was known as "Mr. Fix-It." He helped to fix most of the rot. If Anenih's prayer must be answered, the probe that he called for must include putting him in the box and asking him to account for the over N350 billion that was allegedly spent on Nigerian roads under his watch as Minister of Works and Housing. He'd need to explain what happened to all that money with Nigerian roads still in a state of disrepair. Anenih's attack on Obasanjo clearly shows the depth of Obasanjo's loss of goodwill.

Everyone is taking potshots at him - the most vicious in recent times coming from Col. Abubakar Umar and General T.Y. Danjuma. And the most damaging coming from security men at Aso Villa who at a post-PDP Convention Dinner on March 9, forced him to queue up for dinner according to the order of protocol. Twice, he was reportedly returned to his seat and asked to wait! He tries to bluff his way through either by ignoring the attacks or by fighting back. But Obasanjo is in a position of weakness. His humiliation, I repeat, is self-inflicted. In his days as President, the Nigerian mass media had tried so hard to tell Obasanjo the truth. But he and his aides were intolerant of criticism.

President Obasanjo not only called journalists names in official speeches, he even once declared that he does not read Nigerian newspapers! Obasanjo as President had a problem of style. He was a dictator in a democratic system of government. He ended up burning his bridges. But his greatest shortcoming: he was surrounded by a group of sycophants who told him what he wanted to hear, so they could pursue their own selfish agenda. They called him Baba. They told him he was the father of modern Nigeria. They advised him to seek a Third Term in office. They told him he was the best political leader since Winston Churchill. Anytime journalists criticised his government or any of his policies, they told him they had information that the journalists were looking for money or positions. And he believed them. These were the Obasanjo boys and girls, the inner caucus, the special team. They were voluble, abusive, unduly aggressive and terribly rude. They behaved as if they knew it all.

They are the architects of the rot that is now being associated with the Obasanjo era. And not surprisingly, they are not speaking up to defend the man. They are conveniently silent. They cannot be bothered. But this is easy to explain: Obasanjo is no longer in a position to help them; and they do not want to offend the new man in power. If Yar'Adua offers them a job tomorrow, they will jump at it with the enthusiasm of a goat.

But the bigger problem for Obasanjo is his loss of face in the international arena. When he left office in 1979, he immediately became the beautiful bride of the international community. Everyone wanted to meet the man who ended years of military rule in Nigeria. He was rewarded for his faith in democracy. Nigerians also loved him: they called him "Uncle Sege. They laughed at his jokes. The media promoted him as an African statesman. Today, the same international community is ignoring him. Nobody has invited him to mediate in Darfur, or Kenya or Zimbabwe. With his government's mismanagement of the 2007 elections, nobody is inviting Obasanjo to give a lecture on democracy, good governance and national development. With the rot in the power sector (Where was the EFCC, by the way?. Where was the National Assembly then?) and the scandal of his alleged involvement with his daughter-in-law, nobody is asking OBJ to pontificate on transparency and integrity as he would have wished. If anyone is still laughing at his jokes, these would be his workers at the Ota farm. To have been given so much and yet to have lost so much: this is the tragedy of Obasanjo's adventures in power.

However, the Yar'Adua government may be busy helping to expose the misadventures of the Obasanjo years, but that is not enough. This government must go beyond histrionics and staging a little grandstanding of its own. It should set up a judicial panel of inquiry. Besides, when will the Yar'Adua government begin to initiate its own programmes and show the capacity to deliver on its promises? It is now accepted knowledge that so much was wrong with Obasanjo's style and with his government and the hypocrisy of his loud-mouthed assistants. But Yar'Adua, please do something.

That is a very good article there particular how it ends with a message to the sitting president that inaction is not any better.

I am in total agreement with Reuben. Obasanjo is an embodiment of hypocrisy, illegality and corruption, at best is an example of bad and evil leadership ever foisted on this country, Nigeria. God help Nigeria

well, its easy to curse, abuse obasanjo. Maybe deservedly, but as we speak the budget hasnt been signed, nigeria is on a stand still. The FG has been hijacked by a new breed of politicians. the probe and its subsequent recomendations will be out say in may, by then 1 year of total waste, i even suspect a cabinet reschuffle soon, no ministry has come out with a plan, all they do is pay salaries, silent change in leadership of major goverment parastatals, all stalled projects would have inreased in total cost for the delays, i dont know, i don tire, they no even dey flash us light like before,

Thanks

Just like how i will crucify OBJ anytime for his "mess ups", that is how i will crucify IBB, Abdulsalami, Shagari, Abacha and even Yaradua.
Most people are just being tribalistic and sentimental on OBJ issues.

I am not an admirer of the Yorubas due largely to their tribalistic nature, know-it-all mind and their gossip life, but from the very first day that OBJ became our President, I have never ceased to like and love him. My love for him started when he inaugurataed the Oputal panel, which IBB and his cronies frustrated. I could see a man who was on a mission to restructure Nigeria, which was badly destroyed by the millitary regime especially IBB. The truth must be said and known, although at times bitter, but it's the only thing that can set us free.
OBJ may not be a saint, but I was proud to have him as my President. If the IBB had done half of what OBJ did, Nigeria would not have been where it is today. Which money did OBJ steal that can ever amount to the 18 billion dollars of inherited debt he paid? Why are we not asking about the popular 'Oil Wind Fall'? Today IBB is the richest and strongest former head of state, and yet we can not cast a stone at him. OBJ gave all the best he could to the Nation, but it's not always easy to right a wrong that was perpetrated for 18 years in just 8 years, especially when such righting should have to get the nod of the National Assembly.
All the policies, which OBJ initiated are policies that will librate us from poverty and suffering if they are pursued to a logical conclusion. Privitization is the only hope we have in getting the basic amenities. We should not forget that what belongs to everybody, belongs to no one. Is it monetization, SEEDS, NEEDS etc that would not benefit us in the long run? We should appreciate this man for once. He has many enemies today because he wouldn't give the old and dubious men who have hijacked and impoverished this nation for long, access to the national cake. It was no longer business as usual, and they are now the ones making the loudest noise. Then looking at the kind of people OBJ worked with; The Soludos, el-Rufais, Akunnyulis, Doras, Ribaddos, Obys, name them, I wonder if he did not really mean well for the nation. Finally, he single-handedly brought in a man, who we are now calling a Messiah,to be our President scheming out the likes of IBB and Atiku who we all know have nothing to offer this country again. Could a man who 'performed so poorly' work with this kind of people?
But I believe one thing; History will surely vindicate the man. For the mere fact that he anointed a corrupt- free person to succeed him, shows that he wants this country to move forward. Otherwise, he would have sold us to IBB or Atiku or Rimi or even Balaraba Musa. But God has always been on our side.
Last word for Yar'Adua; Watch your back. Beware of the cabal that wants to take over power. You allowed the governors to choose PDP chairman for you, dont be suprised if you are schemed out of things. Watch who you recieve at the Villa, some are only looking for your downfall. If you abandoned OBJ as some people are 'advising', then you and the Nation are finished. Beware of wolf in sheep clothing!!!

I don't reside in any Yoruba city. I only did my Youth Service in Ibadan, and left there since 2006. I'm right now in the Federal Capital Territory. But lets not quarrel over my statement, at least I have the right to express my feelings.

By the time Yar'Adua is done with Nigeria,Nigerians will be reminiscing over the era of OBJ with misty eyes.We'll be referring to it as the "good ol' days".

Hi. I just want to have your take on the recent developments in the POWER sector. Do u think the FG over invested? What about the funds? Were they properly utilized? If No, your reasons? Is the recent probe in order? Envisage the outcome if u can. Can you recommend Solutions, that is if u think Nigeria really has a problem to solve in its power sector? I need your sincere contributions to enable my final year project work on "The FG investment in the Energy sector" an an EE 5/5 student in UNN.

Now you reside in Abuja. What kind of insult are you going to rain down on the Hausas? Bro. go back to your God forsaking town/village and see how you make out.

its easy to criticise yar adua's administration but he is actually righting the wrongs the former presidents and head of states had created for nigeria including obj's administration,the budget issue is not yar aduas fault all the man is asking for is for the house of reps to follow due process,even bankole said it in the papers yesterday or today that the president wanted the report written properly and that some mistakes were made which they were correcting,i actually think everything happening is a good sign because it shows things are actually changing, we know how things were in the past when the budget was released on time and things were moving on but it was still the status quo as far as corrupt practises was concerned even though yar adua is a go-slow president obj is worse and in spite of everything i see things changing for the good
babangida will get his soon,

@LUCABRASI
WHAT WRONG IS YAR ADU RIGHTING?THE GUY IS PREACHING RULE OF LAW AS IF THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT CONFRONTING THE COUNTRY.THE GUY PROMISED NIGERIANS DRASTIC ACTIONS ON POWER AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.I CAN SAFELY CONCLUDE THAT IN NEXT 4 YRS,ALL WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE IS THIS EMPTY ,EMPTY AND EMPTY TALKS ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW AT THE EXPENSE OF REAL INDUSTRIALISATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY.

well where dyu want me to start with the wrongs, is it with the decay during the military or with obj?we all know a lot of things have gone wrong and things are just changing right now,if we started apportioning blames then the whole of the house of reps or most will be guilty same with the senate, the governors ll be guilty as well as the dg s and so on,
for now the executive and the legilsative arms i.e the house of reps have the benefit of doubt from nigerians at least till we see where the whole thing ends, im sure there ll be some skepticism but then again they have consistently said this wont be the same old song and im sure ait will be on their cases, lets forget about industrialization for now if we are to be honest with ourselves and at least see how the power thing and health are being sorted

@Vallo57

Now you reside in Abuja. What kind of insult are you going to rain down on the Hausas? Bro. go back to your God forsaking town/village and see how you make out.
