State Policing And Restructuring: Obasanjo Had Opportunity But Did Nothing - Adesina

Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of doing nothing about restructuring and security architecture of the country during his tenure, IGBERETV reports.

When the leadership of the National Association of Ex-local government chairmen in Nigeria paid Obasanjo a courtesy visit in Abeokuta on Wednesday April 19, the former President suggested that creation of state police would be a better option than community policing, following the widespread insecurity across the country.

Reacting to this in an interview on Channels Television, Adesina who admitted that Obasanjo has a right to hold a different opinion from what he held in the past, maintained that he (Obasanjo) had the opportunity to restructure the security architecture of the country but did nothing.

The presidential spokesperson said;

“Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has a right to hold a different opinion from what he held in the past but I recall that under him, restructuring of the federation was a key issue that Afenifere fought for, and then there was the issue of state police which also resonated loudly under him but he didn’t do anything in eight years. Like I said, he has a right to change his mind now but it doesn’t change the fact that he had the opportunity to do something about it and did not”.

During the interview, he was asked of the major challenge of President Buhari’s execution of the restructuring. Replying, Adesina explained that the executive is not the custodian of political will.

Obasanjo did a lot for Nigeria, he never divided Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines, he was a president for all and sundry, the reason nobody agitated for restructuring under him.

The same cannot be said about this government that keeps dividing Nigeria everyday.

Buhari's body language has so much emboldened killer herdsmen and bandits to continue their heinous acts particularly in my state benue, they kill innocent people everyday and get away with it, no punishment.

He also made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.

He's not a good and patriotic president, history won't be kind to him

My biggest mistake was voting for him in 2015 thinking he was the Messiah we've been waiting for

It pains me so much what Nigerian has been reduced to, I'm stained by the ugliness of this place

Unlike Obasanjo, Adesina's boss promised restructuring and indeed set up a committee to this effect, only to turn around and start singing something entirely different.

Like every of his numerous promises, this is also going to be unfulfilled.

Adesina should so a self rehearsal.

As much as I dislike this Buhari's government, Femi is right on this one


Whatever OBJ is saying should be done by this government, he should have done it when he was President... He cannot hold someone to a standard different from that which he held himself to when he was President

Just like Buhari, he had the advantage of being President both as a Military man and as a civilian President who spent his full Eight-year Tenure.. So he had exactly the same opportunity Buhari has to fix whatever he is now saying should be fixed, but he didn't sad


Instead he was busy strong-arming people for a 3rd term, and harassing poor Atiku undecided .

That OBJ's harassment has caused Atiku so much PTSD that till date and even in the foreseeable future, Atiku cannot cum grin


Baba should respect his old age and rest... He cannot be a disappointed spectator in the same game where he was once the star player sad

Dem [/b] : AKA [b]DA truth in da building!
tongue tongue tongue
Truth is not bitter, just that some people are bitter to the truth.
Let us hit 'em with the bitter truth that is ALWAYS difficult for them to view or swallow one more time wink


Enemies of Nigeria, AKA, Children of hate, frustrations and perdition,

Who are you calling dictator ?

Ex- President Obasanjo removed Senate Presidents at will, removed any opposing voice, removed Fayose for a small insult, and removed Ladoja with thugs in Ibadan.
Who are you calling “DICTATOR”? BUHARI.

Ex-President Obasanjo withheld Lagos State fund for 3 years, not minding how Lagosians would eat, Yaradua got there and released the fund.

NASS members were abusing President Buhari openly, messing up everything at will; Gov. Fayose has been abusing President Buhari for 4 years now.
Not a single State in Nigeria has been denied their constitutional rights because of politics till date, all their funds, Paris fund and bail out, FAAC etc.
But who is the DICTATOR? BUHARI.

Ex-President Jonathan ensured that NASS opposition members were locked out including Tambuwa the Speaker of the house.
They had to climb gate to gain access.

Jonathan empowered OPCs in Lagos and they were destroying anything in Ikorodu to Ojota that looked like opposition party.
Orga of DSS was used to invade APC secretariat, Journalist arrested and Newspapers siezed, we forgot all these….

Ekiti was militarised, Fayose was given power from Aso rock to order Military guys at will.
Fayemi the incumbent at that moment was rendered powerless that he was shouting when Police commissioner was used by PDP and a guy was shot…All these videos and pictures are still here (google is your friend).
But who is the dictator? BUHARI.

Ex-President Jonathan met FX+ECA at $62 billion+. He DEPLETED it to less than $30 Billion in 5 years Jonathan sold crude oil for 5 years at an average of $100 per barrel of 2.2 million daily (2010-2014). Did he add a DIME to Nigeria purse in 5 years? NO.

Buhari the ILLITERATE sold oil at an average of $50 of less than 700,000 barrel at some points because of militancy, yet had moved that FX to $47 Billion in 3 years.

Don’t say how much did he borrow if you don’t even have the figure borrowed between 2010-2015 without adding a dime to FX.

Who is the ILLITERATE? BUHARIIII. Jide Omokore, Aluko and oil goddess Alinson made an oil deal of N1 trillion and chose not to remit to Nigeria under GEJ. Did anyone raise eyebrow?

INTEL of Ex-Vice President Atiku refused to remit to Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), not until last year that “ordinary” Hadiza the NPA boss challenged INTEL and insisted the funds must be remitted.

A Christian Professor had been leading JAMB all through Obasanjo to Jonathan yet for 40 years of JAMB; only N52 Million was remitted to FG.

A Muslim Professor who was appointed just in two years of handling JAMB remitted over N15 Billion. FIFTEEN BILLION. So who is following after righteousness?

For five years of Okonjo Iweala was paying over 45,000 ghost workers unabated, yet just within 3 years, “ordinary” Kemi Adeosun removed such nonsense…I ask again who is more effective?

Ordinary Abuja metro lane took 11 years from OBJ period that he INITIATED i
Ordinary intra-city metro lane o, but President Buhari that finished is within 3 years is the failure abi?

“Which project did President Buhari INITIATE and COMPLETE in 3 years yen-yen-yen”.
Mention any major project INITIATED AND COMPLETED in 3 years of Ex-President Obasanjo, or Ex-President Yar’Adua or Ex-President Jonathan?

So on what parameters are you using to judge 3 years of President Buhari INITIATING AND COMPLETING? Even PDP can’t finish their own secretariat let alone that which belong to NIGERIA.

Lagos-Ibadan road since Ex-President Obasanjo era till Ex-President Jonathan could not be finished.
In 3 years of President Buhari, the road is receiving serious attention.
Ask those who ply that road and those who go for Holy Ghost Congress monthly about
the difference in pace of work.
Wait, even Otuoke road in Bayelsa had to wait till President Buhari now starts to do the road.
Who is the failure? Can it be BUHARIIII.

What about “Almajiri School in the North? WHERE exactly are these Schools SITUATED in the North? OK, show us the picture.

Emm, 2nd Niger Bridge?
Lol, they completed it on the MAP, yet Fashola is on it PHYSICALLY now.

Did Buhari fail on security issue in Benue? YES. Did others before him fail on the same security issue in Benue? YESSS.
So where did you get all these noise of “Fulani President” is helping herdsmen?

Who was the President during Jos crisis, herdsmen killing people in Zamfara in 2013, Odi massacre, Kaduna crisis?
You think death suddenly started because President Buhari was a Fulani man?
That he failed in that is one thing, but that YOU are making a narrative of “Fulani President” is giving herdsmen power is funny.

January 1, 2018 in Omoku, Rivers State, Christians were coming from Church; cultists from the South South killed their own people.
You know why there was no serious noise by CAN and you?
You could not link it to President Buhari’s herdsmen or Fulani herdsmen.
The same WIKE that did not drop a million to support the families of those bereaved in his constituency (State) went to Benue State to donate N20 Milliion and you hailed him

Kidnapping of School children in Lagos; Badoo issue in Lagos; Crisis in Kaduna.
Who did you call on? Ambode the Governor of Lagos and El-Rufai of Kaduna.
When crisis happened in River State and Benue State, who did you shout about? President Buhari the herdsmen.
What about your Bishops, Pastors and Imans that made Aso Rock their abode between 2010-2015? What did they negotiate for the body of Christ or common citizens?
Yes, they got their jets; they got waivers and Universities all PERSONAL.
Now that the tap to fuel their jets and lifestyles had stopped, all they tell you from the pulpit is “LIES and Prophelying“.
Your anointed ones keep saying ANNOYING THINGS, yet you can’t query their lies?

Wait, I remember again your problem with President Buhari fighting corruption selectively.
So, mention ONE name among those in EFCC case without a case to defend.
If your hero Presidents had fought corruption with one leg, by now shebi it is the second leg that President Buhari will be fighting.

So what is your problem with the corrupt facing the music?
Oh, how about blablablabla.
If President Buhari did not catch them, somebody else will.
But stop crying in defence of the corrupt being asked to face the music.
If your uncle is corrupt, tell him to face it, and stop shouting how about other thieves.

I know you lost your job because Ex- President Jonathan lost out and your job with Mama Patience was terminated.
But stop using your personal loss as a yardstick for Buhari’s achievement.

Under your hero, several young Nigerians were SCAMMED by Boro collecting money from them for Job, in the process killing many young Nigerians.
Ex-President Jonathan cannot even sack him. So what do you want the families of those who died when Ex-President Jonathan scammed them of Jobs to do? Stop crying and face life.

For your information, all those lies about “hidden agenda” can only fly on you because they know you are biblically illiterate.
I even saw somebody hailing Femi-Fani Kayode for being the voice for the Church. Haaaaaa, abomination. Abeg make I stop here jare.

Your plan B, C and D of ruinous economy, escalated insecurities and secession bids will fail and Nigeria shall rise again in the committee of great nations.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Nigeria will bless those that blesses and pray for her and for the her enemies that curse her daily, she will deal with them by herself!

We Rise!

Obasanjo didn't do any tangible thing in Nigeria.

List the things he did that affected civilians positively.

He removed elected Governors, soldiers committed crimes against humanity in places like Odi, poor power supply, poor federal roads, elections nko the 2007 Presidential Election is one of the most terrible in Nigeria(even Yardua had to agree the election that brought him in was not free and fair), there was no constitution review

Tell us any meaningful project he carried out.

Nigeria have not been lucky with the leaders we have been electing since 1999.

OBJ set a bad precedent and Buhari is also a disaster.

If Adesina is of the view that the "Executive is not the custodian of the political will," why still blame Obasanjo? It means he is not sure of his convictions.

Adesina should go come. Did the APC not campaign using Restructuring as a tool?

We know that Obasanjo fvcked up, but it's literally stupid for an incumbent government to continuously justify its own failure with a supposed failure cheesy

Perhaps those who voted for Buhari should remind Adesina that they voted them into power to fix those things the PDP couldn't fix, not taking us backwards.

[b]I don't understand, are those in power still campaigning or what

Was the security today, what it was yesteryears

Did Obasanjo isolate or kill other people's opinion

Did OBJ not participate in peace keeping

During Obasanjo's time can't you protest

Which of these can you do now

As mean as Abacha was, the masses still had something to eat! Food was still affordable!

OBJ was not a president you can't approach and talk to!

Obj was not going about instigating governors against the people or killing youths all in the name of fighting Igbos

Obj NEVER called any tribe 5% or a dot in a circle!

The hatred Buhari showed towards Nigerians and even hausas has never being witnessed in this country!

A wicked being that promised heaven on earth knowing fully well, he does not intend to keep any!

He is a disgrace to leadership!
In case you don't know, its Buhari against the masses!

Una don make Nigeria tire person!

You make policies that you don't honour! [/b]
