Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari behind closed doors yesterday focused mostly on strategies to dislodge corrupt elements from the National Assembly, a presidency source has disclosed to SaharaReporters.

During the meeting, which lasted for close to 2 hours, Obasanjo pointedly told Buhari that with a corrupt leadership led by Saraki at the National Assembly, he stands no chance of fighting corruption and moving the nation forward.

The two-time Nigeria leader then reportedly told Buhari he must be willing to outspend the Senate President in order to remove him and the other rogues from the National Assembly, giving several instances when he had to use such methods during his tenure to dislodge his enemies from the Assembly. Obasanjo had a reputation for deploying rich businessmen to offer irresistible bribes to lawmakers to meet his objectives.

He is said to have revealed to Buhari that members of the People’s Democratic Party who hid huge sums of money in Ghana and elsewhere are reorganizing to take power from him.

A flustered Buhari thanked Obasanjo, describing the former PDP leader as a “unique” person who could do the unthinkable.

He, however, responded that he could not in good conscience spend all the monies available to oust just a few people because he needed to show to Nigerians that he was elected to perform. Our source said he reiterated his wish to use lawful means to prosecute those members of the Assembly involved in corruption, but expressed disappointment in the judiciary, citing instances where judges have been compromised in ongoing cases.

Speaking further on Senate President Saraki, Buhari told Obasanjo that Saraki was an ambitious man who aspires to become president, but promised he would do everything legally possible to prosecute him for his acts of corruption.

SaharaReporters learnt later that the Attorney General of the Federation is dusting up files against former governors for prosecution. Saraki is said to be a top priority on the list, as Buhari is said to be opposed to any form of truce with the Senate President even though he is currently in talks with the Secretary to the Federal Government, the Director-General of the Department of State Security and the AGF.

On Saraki’s side, Senator Danjuma Goje, David Umaru, who is the Chair of the Senate's Judiciary Committee, and two others are reaching out to help Saraki resolve the ongoing forgery lawsuit against him and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.

As soon as Obasanjo left the meeting with Buhari, he spoke to State House reporters. Among others, he told them that his previously-expressed position on National Assembly members being full of rogues and robbers has been vindicated over the revelation that they padded the 2016 budget.

OK nah

OBJ is partially right because Nigeria is the only country that follows simple law of mathematics (-ve times -ve equals +ve) in which you fight corruption with corruption to produce an incorruptible environment.

Buhari should watch his back, this obj is not to be trusted at all, chexk his history and thank me later

The same OBJ that CORNERED his daughter n-law

Who even gave this shameless man an audience

If obj aka Elora ewu himself said this, them Buharifucation will the pause, cos that cash has to be outside official records and GEJ's quote will just be truth.

Somebody shuold tell bihari it us too late to cry when d head is cut off.
Somebbody should inform buhari ,he has no choice but to complete the 4 years tenure with ," ambitious saraki".
Somebody should inform buhari he will achieve nothing if he decides to be killing his enemy one after the other.

Was he sleeping wen saraki emerged?

Saraki is a smart and intelligent politician

Our God will do it

APC will kill APC in future.

i tot they said closed door meeting, so who now revealed it.

And Spare u abi ?

This is an evil advice. I think the president should jettison this advise,it is performance that Nigerians need at the moment and not political fight.This what nigerians want from pmb;let dollar exchange for at least #140,a bag of rice #6000,a litre of kerosene #70,a litre of fuel #90,litre of diesel #95,basket of tomatoes #2000, big loaf of bread #200,lagos to calabar train 60% completed,with #200 prepare a good soup fishes for 5 persons,by at least march 2018 and one useless political fight that will cost his administration billions of naira and good will from the people.No matter the gang of saraki and his PDP supporters against this administration, as far as he has the majority of the people by his side the president will survive.It was because majority of the people in turkey support the govt of erdogan,that was why the coup against his govt failed.obj is a crazy man people are hungry,he advising the president to use scare resources to fight saraki.

If buhari use money to remove saraki is that not corruption on his own

Omeanka and the afonjas we need explanation

Obj advicing someone to outspend ba.... teaching him corruption abi. To outspend using his salary or your own money to buy the other senates?..
It is well.. waiting for almustapha's memoir.

And Obj is making pmb fall from frying pan to fire and the latter won't understand!

#quitepathetic
