In Nigeria today, no former leader has written letters to incumbent Presidents, like former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Sadly, these letters which should have been tailored towards proffering solutions to some of the existential problems in our polity that he created, they are hypocritical and self-serving. The letters, as trend analysis has shown, usually come in the second or third year of the administration, probably when the Government of the day fails to do his bidding.

But does the Ota farmer have the moral right to accuse successive Presidents of incompetence, insecurity, electoral fraud, corruption etc? Let me examine some of the things that transpired during his administration for younger Nigerians to know.

i. Obasanjo appointed Maurice Iwu the Chairman of INEC and practically supervised the rigging of the 2007 general elections for the PDP. The beneficiary, Musa Yar-Adua later admitted that the process that led to his election was flawed;

ii. He unleashed gunboat, attack helicopter and ruthless soldiers on Odi and Zaki-Biam communities, leading to the killings of about a thousand innocent Nigerians; a crime that would have seen him convicted by ICC;

iii. In blatant disregard to supreme court ruling (AND OTHER RULINGS) Obasanjo withheld Lagos statutory allocations for several years, because of his disdain for opposition;

iv. He arbitrary sacked sitting State Governors including Fayose, Ngige, Dariye, Alamieyeseigha because they oppose some of his policies;

v. His reign witnessed an unprecedented increase in political killings with prominent politicians including a sitting Attorney General, Bola Ige, Harry Marshal, Chief Dikibo being victims;

vi. EFCC became Government whip and hangman under his watch, with perceived political opponents being chased and illegally incarcerated;

vii. He plotted an illegal amendment of the country's constitution to enable him do a third term, a move that was ruthlessly resisted by even his Vice. No wonder he vowed never to forgive him until recently that Atiku has promised to return them to the treasury for the continuation of looting;

viii. He complains about nepotism, but under his watch, his daughter Iyabo served as a Commissioner of Health and subsequently Senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly. At the Senate, Obasanjo lobbied for her to emerge as the Chairman Senate Committee on Health. She was later investigated by the EFCC over funds stolen from the Ministry;

ix. He is notorious for brazen corruption. The stealing of the $16bn funds for power remains fresh in our minds. This has left the power situation the way it is; it was during his tenure that Ghana-Must-Go (money in bags) became a norm in the National Assembly;

x. With stolen funds, the man who left prison before the 1999 elections with barely N2k, built his magnificent library, brought his farms back, made his Ota residence a befitting edifice, established Bells University, bought major shares in Transcorp after illegal privatization, bought shares in oil and telecom industry. Today he is about the richest Nigerian. Can he explain his wealth? Let Nigerians decide who is undemocratic.

Nigerian Politicians sha!

One thing you cannot accuse Obj for is nepotism. Anybody telling you otherwise is a liar.

Do you expect anything reasonable to come from a man whose family name is vagina?
