– Olusegun Obasanjo says it is tiring to hear the complaints of the Buhari administration when it was voted in to change the mistakes of the past
– Obasanjo says the president also does not need the $30billion foreign loan to turn Nigeria’s economic fortunes around
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo says President Buhari should stop complaining and fix the mess
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari for dwelling too much on the past and failing to turn around the fortunes of the country.
Premium Times reports that while delivering the keynote address at the First Akintola Williams Annual Lecture in Lagos on Wednesday, November 23, Obasanjo lashed at the Buhari administration for accusing all previous administrations of mis-governance.
He advised that since Buhari was elected to change the country, he should concentrate on clearing the mess he inherited.
“Now that we have had change because the actors and the situation needed to be changed, let us move forward to have progress through a comprehensive economic policy and programme that is intellectually, strategically and philosophically based,” Mr. Obasanjo said.
“It is easier to win an election than to right the wrongs of a badly fouled situation. When you are outside, what you see and know are nothing compared with the reality.
“And yet once you are on seat, you have to clear the mess and put the nation on the path of rectitude, development and progress leaving no group or section out of your plan, programme and policy and efforts.
The longer it takes, the more intractable the problem may become.”
Obasanjo also wondered why President Buhari needed about $30billion loan to fix the economy.
“I am sure that such a comprehensive policy and programme (that will move Nigeria forward) will not support borrowing US$30 billion in less than three years. It will give us the short-, medium- and long-term picture.
“Adhocry is not the answer but cold, hard headed planning that evinces confidence and trust is the answer. Economy neither obeys orders nor does it work according to wishes. It must be worked upon with all factors considered and most stakeholders involved.
“The investors, domestic and foreign, are no fools and they know what is going on with the management of the economy including the foreign exchange and they are not amused.
The Central Bank must be restored to its independence and integrity. We must be careful and watchful of the danger of shortermism.
“Short-term may be the enemy of medium- and long-term. We must also make allowance for the lessons that most of us in democratic dispensation have learned and which the present administration seems to be just learning.”
The former president used to be a staunch supporter of President Buhari but all that seems to have changed.
Obasanjo also did not forget to mention that the national assembly is a cesspool of corruption that stinks to the high heavens.
This is not the first time he has come after the federal lawmakers of the 8th assembly who also do not have any love lost for him.

The real BABA have spoken,someone needs to 'draw' the bubu ear for him to hEAR properly and act. Theres now way naija is going to experience any improvement when the only measures taken by the govt is to,on daily basis,ascribe blame of previous administrations..

It's almost as if Buhari has just 18months to perform, as the last one year will be used to campaign for reelection.

alibis are lies. the govt should stop pointing fingers and get to work.

Correct.

Please OBASANJO don't waste your time, BUHARI don't no anything about government apart from excuse, travelling and taking of pictures

Buhari does not have the ability to fix anything

Thats why he is called the dullardihnnnnno...... so dumb

Didn't OBJ foresee these things when he was supporting PMB to oust GEJ. He better pack one side cuz wailers forms has finished.

Obasanjo, i am still waiting for your open letter.

i posted this in another thread. . 30 billion dollars =15, 000 megawatts of electricity from my calculations, 2 million dollars would get 1 megawatt . Nigeria is not really a serious country. Its not like they want to use it to fix stuffs like electricity, its for mostly buhari's social programs, like feeding students.. shitty projects like that.The money would definitely be shared among d elite one way or the other.

haha,So obj Is now wailing.but sincerely what has buhari achieved since he took over from gej(I'll score him 50% on boko haram issue)but the rest he barely has up to 10%.
fucck the Daura President
