THE FAILED ELDER CALLED OBASANJO:

QUESTIONS FOR PA OBASANJO;

“Baba, if I may ask, what better definition of impunity can one have than the gale of orchestrated impeachments (some carried out with less than ten legislators in hotel rooms) and serial violations of civil liberties orchestrated by you during your tenure as civilian President? You will recall that the National Assembly, because of your unrelenting and undemocratic actions embarked on a process of impeaching you. It took the intervention of my humble self and few of other compatriots to save you and keep our nascent democracy on course. For this, you personally thanked me in writing!

“Weren’t the Halliburton and Siemens scandals part of your legacies to the Nations corruption index? Are you aware that the National ID card project which resulted in the Siemens scandal has been successfully undertaken by the Jonathan administration without any form of under-hand dealings? Didn’t you refuse all pleas to sign the Freedom of Information Bill into law? Which of the poverty and human development indices recorded any improvement while you held sway as Nigerian President for eight years?

“Talking about infrastructure, one may want to ask why critical roads like the Benin-Ore road; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Kano-Maiduguri road; the East West Road and even your Otta-Abeokuta dual carriage were recklessly abandoned and could not be fixed in all your eight years as President despite having more oil money from the Petroleum Ministry over which you personally superintended as President and oil Minister. Why should a President double as the Petroleum Minister of a country?

“Why were you unable or perhaps unwilling to unbundle the PHCN and privatize the power sector for efficient management and output all of your eight years?

As typical of you baba, you made superficial attempt to improve power supply in the twilight of your administration when you committed Nigeria to spending a colossal sum of 16 billion dollars which was paid upfront to import gas turbines for the NIPP projects.

“You neither made plans whatsoever to evacuate the turbines from the ports, nor made provisions for the road infrastructural upgrade to transport them to the desired locations. No land was acquired for the installation of the imported turbines neither was a right of way for execution of the project acquired. Also, you made no effort to align the gas national gas pipeline network with the locations of the turbines.

The resultant effect of this shoddy approach to National development was an unmitigated disaster and a colossal loss of a whopping sum of nearly 16 billion dollars as many of these turbines rotted away at the ports until the intervention of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration.

“Prior to your emergence as President and considering your antecedents as a farmer, one would have expected that you would use your position to reduce Nigeria’s huge food import bills, boost food production and help reduce poverty in Nigeria. Alas, you government did absolutely nothing in this critical sector!

“Rather, you introduced policies that impoverished farmers and increased poverty, hunger and starvation among the populace.
“Baba, you are one of the African leaders that came up with the idea of the Great Green wall from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. While your friend, President Wade did well in Senegal to drive the project, what did you do in Northern Nigeria to bring this vision to reality? Please go and see what the Jonathan administration is doing on the Great Green Wall project.

“Baba, with all your failures, self- righteousness, hypocrisy and other shenanigan, Nigeria has left you alone.

Please baba, leave Nigeria alone.

Yes you did,but there is a difference between reading through an article and digesting the same article and your guess is as good as mine - You did read through but you didn't grasp what was written and the intentions of the writer.

Here in Banana republic where I reside and ride keke limo, Obj means taboo or evil. I don't know what it means in Nigeria.

Seriously, this guy just echoed my sentiments. What moral justification does Baba have to score GEJ administration when he was an utter failure?

This is someone APC is now looking up to as a father for advice, I wonder what would be of them if they take over power with an adviser like baba.

The old man should just retire in peace and leave us alone!!!
