Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has again torn at President Goodluck Jonathan, saying Nigerian democracy remained at risk due to the action of the present administration.

Speaking at a book Launch in honour of the pioneer chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, Mustapha Akanbi‎, in Abuja, Mr. Obasanjo, who is the Chairman of the occasion, said the president should stop encouraging ‘verbal violence which may not physically hurt but has ways of degenerating into physical violence’.

Mr. Obasanjo said the greatest indictment against any administration is to be seen trying to destroy opposition of all sort‎s which invariably mean 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.”

The former president also spoke at lenght on the President’s handling of the Boko Haram insurgency, ‎corruption, the economy and youth unemployment.

On insecurity, Mr. Obasanjo said Boko Haram is not out to “frustrate anyone’s political efforts” and lamented that it took Mr. Jonathan the years to ‎fully understand the menace.

On corruption, Mr. Obasanjo said, “when the head is rotten, the whole body is useless”

On the economy, he said Nigeria would continue to sink deeper and that what Nigerians are told about the state of the economy “is not truly what the economy is”.
“The economy is in doldrums, if not in reverse,” he said.


Mr. Obasanjo’s latest attack on the President is coming seven days after he rated Mr. Jonathan’s performance as below average.

The former president had spoken last weekend in Abeokuta while addressing book writers as part of activities marking the Ake Arts and Book Festival.

“I rate this current administration below average,”

Mr. Obasanjo said in response to a question about Mr. Jonathan’s performance.

The former president also said he deserved credit for helping an individual from a minority tribe become Nigeria’s President.

“Rather than take blame for bringing Jonathan to power, I should be taking credit,” he added.

The Nigerian presidency responded Sunday, slamming Mr. Obasanjo and describing his rating as untrue and misleading.
In a statement in Abuja, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, said Mr. Obasanjo’s rating was at variance “with the facts on the ground”.

Mr. Okupe said President Jonathan had performed so well that “in terms of performance and achievements, no administration since 1960 when Nigeria gained independence from Britain, has done as much as that of President Jonathan”.

There is god ooo

On the economy, he said Nigeria would continue to sink deeper and that what Nigerians are told about the state of the economy “is not truly what the economy is”.
“The economy is in doldrums, if not in reverse,” he said.

But they said we were the World Biggest Economy

However Nigerians Would Never Forgive Baba Obasanjo for giving us a complete Corrupt ogogoro drinker as a president of this Great Country!

no matter what evil GEJ has done,he did not sleep with his daughter-in-law.The m.oron that cnnot even advice his old and flaccid d-ick wants to advise GEJ on how to run Nigeria smh.

Abeg continue sniffing gbenga's wife's panties and let GEJ continue to transform the country.

PDP is a cancer, the longer it stays in power the worse become of our economic life. Let all stand against cancer called PDP because it is terminal.

Are things better during the Goodluck Jonathan presidency as opposed to what you had during the Obasanjo presidency?
I wish Yar’Adua was healthy and alive. Perhaps,
we would have had a better rule in Nigeria.
Jonathan’s rule has not been beneficial to the
people of Lagos. What has he done for Lagos?
Even our entitlements are not being given to
us. Even the money we have spent on federal
roads has not been returned to us. Go to Alpha
Beach area, people have been complaining of
flood. We took Jonathan there but has he
responded? Ocean erosion is not a state
responsibility but a Federal Government
responsibility. So, if the megacity authority had
even been created, would it have been
funded? Jonathan has been a disappointment.
Lagosians have never benefitted from
Jonathan’s government. Now that elections are
approaching, they brought FERMA boys and
gave them uniforms; they have always done
that. They did it in 2007 and in 2011 when
elections were approaching. They gave them
arms and clothes but after elections, you do not
see them again.

ObJ sef dn tire later Tan members would b claiming Fresh air

Obj and his northern enslaved mentality! SMH.

They have all been destroying Nigeria since time immemorial. All of them should just go away to make way for brighter and better leaders.

If they refuse to, I have my tanker waiting to force them out; battle ready with field artillery:

Wait a minute, who is talking? OBJ ? I dey laugh.

.

There is a certain age to which when you get, you can never be afraid of speaking your mind. Baba has reached that age. We may not have had it so good during his regime, but we all bear witness to this disaster that is Jonathan's regime and what Utopia Obj's regime was compared to this!!

Baba we thank you for the timely and dutiful letter you wrote. We thank you for the words of caution you've been giving your political protege none of which he's heeded. When the Anenihs and Bode Georges of this country are busy tacitly encouraging the decay, rot and decadence in the system, here you are making very useful contributions to stem the tide of this raging storm that threatens to consume all we've laboured for in the past 15years!!

Expect his attack dogs to come at you with all manner of abuses, it is part of their job description, but sir, don't let that deter you from speaking the truth as you've been doing lately. Posterity will definitely remember you with favour.

Thank you once again sir.

Sooner or later... The truth will reveal itself.


Who is/destroyed Nigeria, very soon, we will know

I'm getting sick of this old man rantings, he did worse when he was there

Useless General,that ran away from battle front,and was shot on the buttocks like his son!.
Is their anything worst off,than a man sleeping with his own daughter inlaw?.
Obasanjo epitomizes everything evil.

Lets we forget,under your watch,16b dollars meant for rural electrification grew wings and disappeared,and you are accusing Jonathan of corruption.how about you being stupendously rich after your administration,while you hardly eat after being released from jail?.

A baboon like you is accusing Jonathan of ambushing democracy,but under your watch,a citizen governor of Anambra state was kidnapped,because he is against you.
How about ceasing the allocations of Abia,and Lagos,because their governors were against you?.
Obj,you av' forgotten many political killings that characterized your administration?
You are a bastardized bastard Obasanjo.

Anyone who wants to be respected should respect himself.

You don't cross a bridge and blow it behind you.

Is OBJ, the only living ex president alive? Under OBJ did we not see situations were he was brutal to opposition and constructive criticism?

Everyone has expiry date.

Obj is an becoming senile to be taken for an elder statesman.

Baba in as much you speaks the truth.... if not for you, we wouldn't have this inept man as a president...
Well, we will correct your mistake in February 2015.

This same man frustrated the opposition while he was in power, held lagos state government allocation for over a year, was his government corrupt free?it's a case of kettle calling pot black, if pdp is the problem then apc is no better because most apc members are those that left pdp to apc for political gains.
