Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has criticised President Goodluck Jonathan again, saying Nigerian democracy is at risk due to the president’s actions. Premium Times reports.
Obasanjo was speaking at a book launch in
honour of the pioneer chairman of the
Independent Corrupt Practices Commission,
ICPC, Justice Mustapha Akanbi, in Abuja.
Obasanjo, who was the Chairman of the
occasion, advised President Goodluck
Jonathan to stop encouraging ‘verbal violence
which may not physically hurt but has ways of
degenerating into physical violence’.
He cautioned the present administration not to
destroy opposition of all sorts because doing
so, means destroying democracy.
“Management of democracy without resorting
to brute force and dictatorial tendencies must
be cultivated,” the former President said.
“As a leader, you must not deliberately do evil
or condone evil. You should know that you will
one day give account to God, you may cover
up here, but before God, there is no cover up.”
Speaking on the insecurity in the North-east,
Obasanjo said Boko Haram is not out to
“frustrate anyone’s political efforts.” He opined
that President Jonathan do not fully
understand the issues involved.
Speaking on corruption, Mr. Obasanjo said,
“when the head is rotten, the whole body is
useless”
He also spoke on the economy saying, the
economy “is not truly what the economy
is”.“The economy is in doldrums, if not in
reverse,” he concluded.
It will be recalled that Obasanjo berated the
President Goodluck Jonathan-led
administration recently, which attracted a
strong response from Aso-rock.
