"Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has a penchant for “storied vindictiveness” and “proverbial vengefulness”, American embassy officials told their superiors in Washington.

OP you dey talk about hotel?? Obj practically owns Ethiopia bros.

The consul general, in his cable, which was sent before the former governor’s escape from the UK, told his superiors that Mr. Alamieyeseigha’s arrest in the UK was not only due to corruption allegations, but also due to his friendship with former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, who was Mr. Obasanjo’s arch enemy at the time."

And the shameless old fool has the audacity to accuse the current government of corruption. Nothing offends one's sensibilities more than unconcealed and unapologetic hypocrisy.

Former President Obasanjo has sold Kaduna and Port Harcourt refineries to a consortium of Nigerian investors led by Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola shortly before leaving office after years of frustrating Turn Around Maintenance contracts midwifed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Obasanjo will have serious problem this year

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, had in 2005 and 2006 entered into diplomatic agreements with Asian countries, including China and South Korea, with a view to securing active participation of their companies in the exploration and production of oil and gas activities in the country, with firm commitment to the development of downstream infrastructure towards kick-starting real development in Nigeria.

For instance, the Chinese were to invest in the railway system and the Kaduna Refinery, the Koreans in gas pipeline from south to northern parts of the country and power generation, while the Indian firm, Mittal, was to invest in the development of Greenfield refinery, 2,000 megawatts of electricity generation plant and the East-West railway projects.

But the British think-tank body - Chatham House - in a 60-page report released yesterday, accused the Nigerian government of mismanaging the relations with the Asian oil firms and failing to take advantage of the deals that could have helped it develop infrastructure. The group indicted Obasanjo in the deals.

According to the report, Obasanjo sought partners in China, India, South Korea and elsewhere to buy oil blocks before leaving office in 2007 in return for billions of dollars of infrastructure and downstream investment, but neither a single barrel of oil has been produced by Asian national oil companies in Nigeria nor has any downstream commitment been started, leaving the Nigerian economy with no tangible benefit.

The report reads in part: "President Obasanjo's stated grand design to achieve a development dividend through the oil-for-infrastructure scheme with Asian national oil companies has fallen apart. With it went the impact that it might have made on the Nigerian landscape."

IYABO OBASANJO-BELLO

Dad: Former Nigerian President Olesegun Obasanjo
Age: 42

Bad behavior: Her father may be notorious for political corruption, but daughter Iyabo started out promisingly enough, earning graduate degrees in epidemiology from UC-Davis, Cornell, and Wake Forest and publishing a number of papers in U.S. medical journals. She seemed headed for a distinguished career in medical research until she returned to Nigeria in 2004, fleeing her estranged husband with their U.S.-born son.

The father has filed kidnapping charges against her in a U.S. court, which are still pending.

Obasanjo also reportedly owes her ex-husband $35,000 in unpaid child support and is on an Interpol watch list.

[size=18pt]After coming home, she decided to go into the family business: abuse of power and graft. [/size]

After serving as health commissioner in her father's government, Obasanjo was elected to the Nigerian Senate in 2006, where she
proceeded to take full advantage of the office.

In 2006, Obasanjo reportedly accepted thousands of dollars in bribes, including a Toyota Land Cruiser, from an Austrian company in exchange for using her connections to help it bid on energy contracts with her father's government.

She is also accused of withdrawing $85,000 from Nigeria's meager health budget for personal use.

Obasanjo has described the accusations as "blackmail."

The Boko Connection

Several ANPP politicians have switched to the PDP.

Bauchi State Gov. Isa Yuguda (Yaradua's son-in-law), who has been accused of harboring Boko Haram, crossed over to the PDP from the ANPP in February, after Zamfara State Gov. Mahmud Shinkafi left the ANPP for the ruling party in December 2008.

Sheriff probably received his own offer to leave the ANPP for the PDP when former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, who remains a leading political godfather in the country as chairman of the PDP's board of trustees, spent three days with him in Maiduguri in late
April.

[size=28pt]However, Sheriff has not yet made the switch. His answer of "no" (or at least "not yet" ) to Obasanjo likely triggered the Nigerian security forces to prepare a move against Boko Haram. [/size]

All those saying GEJ is corrupt are the fathers of corruption themselves.

Don't mind this big thief

Obasanjo, Buhari ($2.8 billion missing) Tinubu, Amaechi, Saraki, Fashola, Oshomole. For all have stolen and fallen short of the glory of God.

Interesting thread...I guess GEJ has bribed wiki leaks too

Responding to former President Obasanjo's demand for Yar'Adua to resign on health grounds, MEND said: "Is it not ironic that Obasanjo who sought to perpetuate himself in office is now giving lectures on honour?

You definitely are over-exaggerating. If you had said some investments, e go gree me believe unless of course, you are being sarcastic.
