The economy is so bad today. The only ones
living large are those stealing government money
with impunity:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday
drew similarities between the present state of the
economy and the way it was during the regime of
General Sani Abacha, saying the current situation
has wiped out the middle class.
Obasanjo said a distress message he received
from a Nigerian requesting financial assistance
clearly indicated that the middle-class has been
destroyed. The former president, who was
addressing a group of traders who visited him in
Abeokuta on Sunday, read out the distress
message sent to him by SMS.
“I told him (sender of the message) we
experienced this at the time of Abacha, the
middle class was completely destroyed”,
Obasanjo said.
The former president also told his guests
about a Senior Military personnel who could
not afford a new car, saying that was a big
surprise to him. He said: “I was surprised
the day a Colonel in the Army came to me
complaining that he and his family could not
afford to buy a car (without stealing
government money).”
Obasanjo also cited a medical doctor’s family
that had to relocate outside the country to
survive. “A friend, Dr. Okoro, was a medical
doctor, his wife was also a medical doctor and
they have a daughter who is also a medical
doctor, but they could not afford a new car, and
had to go to Saudi Arabia”, he said.
But he said the situation did not change his
conviction that tough times do not last forever,
and when tough times come, tough people get
going.
On the way forward, he said Nigerians have to be
alert and vigilant, adding, “To be fore-warned is
to be fore-armed, if we will get ourselves out of
the morals we find ourselves in, it has to be done
by each and every one of us. We all have
contributions to make and should not leave our
responsibilities for others. If we fail to participate
in things that are meaningfully positive for this
country, we will all become victims”.
He said as far as the next political dispensation is
concerned, he could not decide yet.
“As for me, we don’t know where we are going
yet, may God show us the way to take this
country and make it great. For me, I understand
and I see the way, I will tell you, I pray that God
will show me the way, may God show you the
way.”
