Edwin Clark Rubbishes Obasanjo; Says Obasanjo Is The Most "Corrupt Ruler" In Nig by ElRey01: 3:03pm On Dec 09, 2014
Hear Him:

“Obasanjo is just making noise. I think he is behaving like a spoilt child. He was in office for 8 years; first time, he was in office for 2 years, what did he do for the people of Nigeria?”

“The railway which he abandoned for the 8 years he was in power has been resuscitated by Jonathan. Today you can ride from Iddo station in Lagos to Kano, and the one in the East will soon be in operation. Today a modern rail line is being constructed from Abuja to Kaduna.
“We have so many airports that have been refurbished. What did Obasanjo do during his own time? He sold the Nigeria Airways, left all the airports in a dilapidated position. A man who is from the West, the express road from Lagos to Ibadan, he abandoned it, allowed it to go into decay. President Jonathan has awarded it to a reputable contractor. The road from Shagamu to Benin has been done. Today you can drive from Ore to Benin City in about 1 hour."

“Even the road from Lagos to Ota which passes through his place cannot be used. What has he done that Jonathan did not do? He left this country with about 2, 500 megawatts, today even though people are complaining, it has increased to about 4,500 megawatts. Obasanjo will not give credit to anybody. Tell me what he did for Nigeria in his 8 years in office except that he destroyed the country. Today the country is infested with corruption which he started. It was Obasanjo that legalised corruption in this country”.
“Number two, he wanted third term extension, and for that reason he paid N50 million to some of the House of Representatives members for them to approve his third term ambition. He sold away most of government properties belonging to the country at give away prices to companies, some of them he has shares in them."

“Obasanjo is the most corrupt ruler in this country. We can see what he did with Atiku over the Petroleum Development Fund, where Atiku accused him of buying a car for his girlfriend with money from PTDF. So what is Obasanjo talking about? He is the most corrupt leader in Nigeria; he should not be walking about. In fact he should be tried. He should be arrested and be tried in the country, and corruption will go down”.
“If Obasanjo is tried for corruption, corruption will go down. People will be afraid. People embrace corruption because nothing has happened to a corrupt leader like Obasanjo”.
-Chief Edwin Clark

Truth they say is bitter.. It is becoming apparent that senility is making OBJ lose his sense of reasoning as human........ What will it take him to applaud GEJ? Just because GEJ is doing what he failed to do, that is the sole reason he is calling him names and trying to poison Nigerians heart aginst him.... OBJ is a disappointment and should stop this jealousy thing so he won't end up like King Saul in the Bible............

I don't see corruption decreasing in Nigeria in the nearest future as long as we keep celebrating our many ex corrupt leaders. When a former leader is tried and jailed for corruption that is when Nigerians will start being honest and run away from corrupt activities. It is sad, but let the truth be told, 90% of our politicians are corrupt and bigots. Corruption has become a household name in Nigeria that if you don't answer it you become an outcast. The Issue of fighting corruption is not government's business alone. Go to any cooporate organisation and see the alarming level of corruption practised, and I tell you they are partners with politicians in corruption. Every Nigerian should examine himself and tell himself the truth first on how he or she came about his stupendous wealth starting with the demi god obasanjo and others.

This old man he is so unrepentant that he is willing to follow GEJ till his last breath. I wonder when he will start preparing for heaven.

Obasanjo decimated our foreign debts to single digit number by using his experience and personality to lobby for debt waiver from our foreign creditors. He was already a respected personality before he became prevident. Remember he was Nigeria's representative to the United Nation(talking about pedigree unlike the Otuoke Zoologist). He also increased our foreign reserve to very high numbers(close to 50 billion Dollars) when he left office. Today under Jonathan, our foreign reserve is in single digit from almost 50billion??. These are how you judge an economy NOT about building bridges and refurbishing airport( which is more like a way to siphon money).can you please tell this unofficial Jonathan spokesman??

Instead of abusing OBJ, Clark reeled out some of GEJs achievement. Waiting patiently to see OBJ bring out his CV in like manner.
Apart from achieving notoriety as the head of state intent on remaining in office after ruling Nigeria for 10yrs and bedding his daughter-in-law what else did he achieve?
