​Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday spoke on the ongoing strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

He blamed the then government of late president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua for agreeing to certain demands made by ASUU.

Speaking at a book launch in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, Obasanjo noted that the administration should not have allowed itself to be stampeded into signing agreements without full consultations.

“Government allows itself to be stampeded into signing agreement particularly when one group or the other withdraws their service and go on strike.

“After the agreement has been signed, without full consultation within government, and implementation becomes an issue.

“But an agreement is an agreement whoever the agent is that signed that agreement on your behalf, you are bound by it.

“You may now have to renegotiate to have a new agreement but the agreement earlier signed remains an agreement.

“The universities teachers go on strike, there is an agreement; doctors go on strike, there will be a special agreement.

“And when the universities teachers see that the agreement reached with the doctors is different from theirs, they again go on strike and this is bad for our economy,” he added.

What is this one saying?

Is it not back in 2002, during his presidency that ASUU went on its longest strike over, a nine months strike that spilled over into 2003?

And he has the effrontery to try and dish out advice? Let him better go and sink into a sinkhole.

In as much as I appreciate the contributions,submissions and opinions of elders,I think OBJ should save us all of these craps.

He's the President for solid 8 years..Out of the Military Government,He enjoyed National support from all tribal proponents in the Country.Unfortunately,this young man soiled our democratic foundation with bad governance,bribery,corruption and illegitimate Political Witch hunting.

He should abstain totally from passing comments regarding the state of the nation.

I respect ex-president OBJ but I don't know if he respects himself.
My opinion tho.

Thank God this time around GEJ was spared. The blame has been shifted to the beyond. But OBJ has been talking a lot lately

Word

They can never get it Right with sick and ill mannered policies

Obasanjo is an hypocrite.

Under his watch, ASUU went on strike for 7 Months while that Borishade was Minister of Education.
