Obasanjo Slams National Assembly For Not Curbing Buhari’s Lopsided Appointments by Nadeemkumi: 12:08pm On Feb 02, 2018
Former president, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo has observed that federal character principle was not followed in the appointment of the nation’s service chiefs, even as he berated the National Assembly and the Federal Character Commission, FCC, for failing to check the excesses of President Muhammadu Buhari in the uneven distribution of public offices.

He also stated that his exchange of pleasantries with Buhari in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, during the African Union, AU, summit, did not in any way detract from the significance and seriousness of his special press statement which called on the President not to contest the 2019 elections.

Obasanjo stated this on Thursday at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, in Oke Ilewo area of Abeokuta, shortly after the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNM, was inaugurated in Ogun State, and he was registered as a member of the movement.

He pointed out that his open letter to Buhari was not borne out malice or ‘bad belle’ as he never condemned the current administration in totality but commended the president in areas where he had performed creditably.

The ex-president, who addressed scores of stalwarts and potential members of the CNM who came for the launch in Abeokuta, said: “Last week, I issued a statement which I did not do lightly or frivolously but out of deep concern for the situation of our country.

It is not who you are underneath, it is what you do that defines you. A political corridor is a one chance anticipation to a political success. Characterizing a political success without considering the action of players void the good value it accommodate in a milieu. Politics is not domicile,it is not a one way traffic, it is not a gadget, it is a process,it is action,it is determination, it is plan and most especially it is a lane to foment trouble when it's results are not corresponding to the public expectation. Insalubrious it is to experience politics with greedy and people who have no conscience to human existence. Zeal to succeed when politics is bad is right to defend nature when it is about to collapse. Condemn is not complain, it is far much better to condemn than to complain,complain is not condemn and it is disgraceful to complain when you can condemn.



It is time to condemn the bad actions of those in authority. Complaining about their actions is like discussing in silence about the worst you experience and is about to repeat again. Condemning their actions is a process of protesting,revolting or rioting and the government has a listening ear but are stubborn to listen but when we condemn by action they hear faster than expected. Audible it is to kick an empty tin than to kick a ball on a wall.


We wish to be like the western countries but are we ready to sacrifice. United State of America did not just became great without a foundation and sacrifices. China did not just became the best with the kind of corrupt people we have in Nigeria as leaders,their policy to eradicate corruption was what made her so powerful today. Ghana was a country of penury, a country without a standard economy, look at Ghana today and compare their economy to ours,it was a credible leader with determination to promote the living standard of Ghanaians that made Ghana what it is today. Germany revolt many times against bad governance, France was at the forefront of revolution,for Nigeria to be great,sacrifices need to be made and such sacrifices is our actions to eradicate bad governance.


It is the duty of our Youths to decided how to defend this country. The politics of governance we experience in Nigeria is destabilizing our economic growth. The economic growth of Nigeria is our dream and if we keep calm without actions or asking questions then extinction of a country is not calamitous to compare to the regret of what the future will produce. Regrettably it is to divorce a wife because she refused to be dominated by you and to remember the support she gives you when you are in need is the most painful part of remembrance. If we can unite without minding the Ethnic or Religious differences, the future will celebrate our superiority in the universe.


Our father's refused to live together because they want to dominate others,we cannot behave like them,we are the future and the future will crumble if we chose to follow the part of war mongers. A credible constitution by the United Nigerians will end all these conflict we have been experiencing in Nigeria. If we can't revolt then let's change this constitution,let's establish a constitution that will protect us,a constitution that will unite us and a constitution that must be respected by us. Time to act is now for a united Nigeria is power to survive this modern generation. United we stand,divided we collapse.
