A day after former President Olusegun Obasanjo referred to members of the House of Representatives as unarmed robbers, several members have refused to respond to the allegations.

The House has stated it will issue no former response to the charge, however individual members of the House contacted by the media have said Obasanjo’s age excludes him from a response.

House spokesman Abdulrazaq Namdas, contacted by The Nation said: “There is nothing to say because the House has responded to the former President previously.

“The accusation this time is the same as before, so there is nothing to add. Our position has not changed from what we said in 2016.”



”He is an elder and in my culture, you don’t respond to elders every time.

“You don’t banter words with your elders.Having responded once and he accuses you again and again, what you do is you keep quiet.

“Remember he is a former President and an elder statesman. I will not say more than that.”

Another lawmaker who was not identidied said, “I will not like to respond to this allegation on the basis that he is an elder and a statesman, but that does not validate his claim.



“I can only describe the accusation as coming from people seeking relevance. Not that Obasanjo is seeking relevance, but the fact remains that if anyone wants to be in the news, all you need do is to hit members of the National Assembly.

“For instance, someone like former President Ibrahim Babangida who has found a new love for restructuring. Why did he not make it happen when he had all the opportunities in the world as the head of the military government then?

“What did he do? Nothing! But it is now convenient to shift the blame. You know we like playing the blame game in this country.

“As such, I will rather not comment on it, I will give him that respect, but that does not mean what he said is true.”

Useless reps

The are not useless.


The only useless thing i have ever come across in my life is the vegetable in London and his zombie followers.

What kind of response do you have to give to someone that knows in and out of your shaddy activities in the NASS? receiving constituency allowances without any constituency projects.

The reps, the OBJ, the PMB, the GEJ, IBB. They are all the same, none of them give a damn abt the masses

Nigeria, great country lead by fools
