Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo has dismissed calls
by a group demanding that
he accounts for Abacha loot
recovered by his
administration. In an
interview conducted by Frisk
Larr and published on his
blog, the former military
general described such
persons as “illiterates and
stupid people”.
Speaking over the weekend,
Obasanjo said the role of his
office was to facilitate the
recovery process and not
how it was put to use.
“They said the money
recovered from Abacha, I
should account for it. What
stupidity! The man who
asked for it, the man who
gave the judgement or who
answered them are all
stupid, with due respect.
“I don’t keep account, all
Abacha loots were sent to
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN,
and every bit of it was
reported to Minister of
Finance. My job was to write
where we can get help to
recover the money.
“Every penny that comes out
of it went to CBN, so if they
want to know what happened
to the money, they should
call CBN governor or call the
Minister of Finance.
“But again, it shows
ignorance, total ignorance,
which is lacking and you
wonder, are these people
educated? They can also
approach the man who
helped us in recovering
process to give the list of
money recovered and where
he took it,” Obasanjo said.
Buhari Luckier Than Me
While commenting on oil
prices, Obasanjo said
President Muhammadu Buhari
was lucky comparing Buhari’s
opportunities with his own.
“When I assumed office in
1999, I inherited $3.7 billion
in reserve, while Buhari met
$30 billion, almost 10 times
of what I met then, and the
price of oil then was $9.
When it got to $20, I was
dancing.
“I know the price is down
now and with time, it will jump
up again. What Buhari is
doing currently is preparing
ground for Nigeria to take
advantage when it goes up
again,” he maintained.

The main question is what was our dollar demand compared to our reserve... That's what's important

Lol so u think reserves are money that belongs to Nigeria?? Shi Shi go buy economics text and stop embarrassing urself

SUPERPACK:
The value of $3 billion in 1999 is greater than $30 billion dollars of 2015.

coolscott:
This is what we call the volunteering of ignorance.

Paperwhite:
No the reserve belongs to you.Keep wallowing in your ignorance.

Chienyego:


I see the narrative has now switched from "What was the price of crude" (since you know it was much lower under OBJ than it currently is under PMB) to "What was our dollar demand".
Pitiful. But I'm not surprised.
Maybe after that, you'll also ask "What was our population density compared to now?"
and after that, "What was our minimum wage compared to now?"
and maybe, "What was the state of global warming compared to now?"
That's how you hirelings will keep jumping from one silly excuse to the next in order to defend the total failure that is Buhari.

As they say, an irresponsible leader will ALWAYS find an excuse for his failure.

id911:
But Buhari said he met empty treasury. The way this current administration fabricates lies makes even the devil jealous
