The former President said the majority of those who have been opportune to hold leadership positions in the country as governors, presidents, ministers, commissioners even as local government chairmen are ill-prepared, satanic, self-centred and are all out to corruptly enrich themselves while the nation continues to wallow in abject poverty and condemnable underdevelopment...

Obasanjo is one and that doesn't mean Tinubu should be canonized either.

Who else noticed that all the former heads of state and president's are no longer supporting this government. Everyone is now anti Tinubu
Are those former heads of State not the reason you grew up in a third world country? What makes them moral authorities on the subject of good governance?

In 1970, Nigeria was a prosperous State that loaned money to others. How did we get here? Through those former heads of State right?

Prison ke! They would have hanged him.
Very corrupt man. He used state resources to build obasanjo farm during his time as amilitary head of state. Also uses the same state mo ey to build obasanjo preaidential library.
Obsanjo is a big thief.

Diversionary. The topic is on a highway on a most swampy and most difficult terrain. A railway line from Lagos through Benin to Onitsha to Portharcourt with a spur to Calabar would cost less than this coastal highway. The railway will be more profitable.

Obasanjo may be right, the Lagos-Calabar project never followed due process, and renovating the VP Akinola Agunda house for a whooping 21bn is wasteful.

But if someone would accuse another of corruption it shouldn't be Obasanjo
But Kano - Mardi ( Niger Republic) rail line follow due processhuh
Why is anything that benefits South, will be criticizing by Southerners?

“How do you explain the situation of a chief executive, a governor, whose business was owing the banks billions of naira and millions of dollars before becoming a governor and within two years of becoming governor, without his company doing any business, he paid all that his businesses owed the banks.

Na Dapo get this sub.

But oil, getting from Niger Delta and been shared by all Nigeria is not a Wastehuh?

Any amount spend on Niger Delta is never a Waste

You're, making case for, rail line from Lagos to Benin to Onisha to PH. But costal road crossing Niger Delta is a waste 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As long as it's possible. Any amount spend on Niger Delta is a wonderful idea.

A whooping sum of 21bn splashed on Shettima official residence and N15.6trn on coastal highway while ordinary Nigerians are asked to endure pain and wait for the light at the end of the tunnel.APC promised to change the era of fraudulent practices during PDP but it is saddened today that PDP era of corruption was just a child play compare to mammoth of corruption being witnessed under APC-led administration.
Re: Lagos-calabar Highway Project Wasteful, Corrupt – Obasanjo by onuman: 8:49am On Mar 13, 2025
Tinubu people want one Nigeria but swore there will never be railway lines joining Lagos with the South-East.
Tinubu people only want connection between Lagos and the oil and gas deposits in the Southsouth. That's behind the mad rush for Lagos-Calabar coastal highway. The highway will end up a failed project. Who is going to maintain it?

Area boys will come to tell us how Obasanjo is the architect of Nigeria’s problems and how he is the one that caused all these mess we are in.

Obasanjo left power almost 20 years ago.
Just because you want to make a statement that makes no sense, you have to call others names. That someone left power 20 years ago, does that suggest he has a clean record or exonerate him from the mess in the country today? The democracy we practiced in Nigeria was ruined by Obasanjo and built upon by others. So, if you build a house on a faulty foundation, you are suggesting that the foundation should be ignored, while we focus on the cracks on the walls and the building sinking. Does this make any sense to you? To ignore Obasanjo in this whole mess is to say he was a saint. Obasanjo is not different from every other president that ruled.

Let assume that your assertion is true. Then is a good move.

When, Buhari connecting Kano to Mardi)Niger Republic). It was a good idea 😊😁? Right.
