Nigeria Is Cursed with Very Bad Leaders ––Obasanjo Explodes; Mentions Names

Former President Olusegun Obsanjo has a strong message for us. Hear him:
“We had some people who were under 50years in leadership positions. One of them was James Ibori, where is he today? One of them was Alamieyeseigha, where is he today? Lucky Igbinedion, where is he today?
“The youngest was the Speaker, (Salisu) Buhari; you can still recall what happened to him. You said Bola Tinubu is your master. What Buhari did was not anything worse than what Bola Tinubu did.
“But in this part of the world some people covered up the other man. The man claimed he went to Government College, Ibadan but the governor (Oyo State) went to Government College and packed all the documents so that they would not know that he did not go there.
“I wanted someone who would succeed me so I took Atiku. Within a year, I started seeing the type of man Atiku is.
"And you want me to get him there?

“I once went to Tanzania because Julius Nyerere recognised Biafra. He told me not to mind his aides and others in government. They would say they have one house in town but their five year old sons and daughters would have houses all over.

“Some of you who are condemning the leadership would get there tomorrow and it will be a different story. Only very few are actually good.

“Abacha, my predecessor got $750m. Through our lawyer in Switzerland we recovered $1.25bn and the lawyer still said there is probably still another $1bn to be recovered. In 1979 we had 20 new ships specially built for Nigeria. When I came back 20 years after, the national shipping line had liquidated.

“The whole thing is not just about leadership. If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers. If you talk about human right you should also talk about human duties and obligations.

“It is sad that after 53years of independence we have no leader that we can commend. The problem in Africa is that when one person takes over he would not see any good thing that his predecessor did. Let us condemn but with caution,”

.Com observed that Obasanjo said all these on Tuesday in Ibadan, while reviewing the history of Nigeria as a keynote speaker at the 4th Annual Ibadan Sustainable Development Summit by the Centre for Sustainable Development, University of Ibadan, and African Sustainable Development Network.

We are expecting reactions from some of those he mentioned. Expect updates from .Com.

what sense in what he said, dumb brained useless easily convinced nigerian idiotic people!!!!! he ruined the nation and the economy, during his pdp presidential representative and the chief of arm forces, idiots did u hear anything  like credible election. were ur votes counted, was it not violence and extremism, stealing ballouts here and there, some parts of nigeria did not votes.outright assult and assasinations of political opponents only those in the pdp or supports have access to everything..you can only been prosecuted or disgraced if u are against him. thats the parttern of his reigns almost all the pdp gorvernors did money laundry and abuse of power, reckless and waste of public fund, negligence but how many of them were prosecuted or charge for abuse of power? none. what could he boast  interms of protecting the integrity and the people of bakassi if not selling them out angainst their will  to our cameroun neibours becos of westerners persuaded him to do so.hes a puppet of western oligarchy.only the fing he can boast of that he made life easier to the poor masses and booth rich in a way that they can have access to mobile telephone to access a call to whom they feel to contact. what a dismay of wasted years of power!!.was it not his time that he made a comment that if u can buy a bottle of bear 150naira, what could stop u from buying a litre of fuel  sth like 60 naira.roaming us deep in scarcity of fuel and abject poverty thereby comparing a bottle of bear with a price of fuel,.killing businesses and jobs  just to make certain individuals rich. those that finacially supported him during his sham election..tell me real things as leader that took a throne of longeted 8yrs without any interuption. we did not expect him to change the country overnight but to create a foundation of hope to the less-privledge nigerians..he should be prosecuted or send to trial if our justice system were effective or working in our interest instead.

Talk is cheap. Action is what counts. Action is what we need in this country. We are tired of parrot leaders and ex leaders.
