Today, as in the day of Abacha, Nigerians must rise up and do what they did in the time of Abacha. Churches and Mosques prayed. International community stood by us Nigerians. I was a beneficiary and my life was saved. Well-meaning Nigerians took appropriate actions and made sacrifices, some supreme, some less than supreme but God had the final say and He took the ultimate action.”

Even Obasanjo has seen that Buhari cannot lose to Atiku and is now trying to involve God grin

Buhari is working for God and no gang up can truncate that.

PDP urchins on nairaland can you see that OBJ has resigned to God? cheesy

He knows Atiku is a political dwarf next to Buhari

What a joke to compare this current regime to the Abacha era. If we were back to the "Abacha era" would he dare have the confidence to make such a statement. He would be have been arrested and imprisoned for the 2nd time. I am not in support for such careless statements. He can make his point (which may indeed be valid) without the use of a reckless comparison.

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo says Nigeria is back to the Abacha era when state institutions were used to fight perceived enemies of the head of state.

He was speaking on Sunday in his state of the nation address which he tagged “Points for Concern and Action”.

Sani Abacha, a general, was the military head of state from November 1993 till his death in June 1998 and was accused of using dictatorial powers to rule the country.

TheCable understands that Obasanjo decided to address the nation following recent developments in the polity, including the trial of the chief justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, over an alleged false declaration of assets.

Obasanjo said: “Today, another Abacha Era is here. The security institutions are being misused to fight all critics and opponents of Buhari and to derail our fledgling democracy. EFCC, Police and Code of Conduct Tribunal are also being equally misused to deal with those Buhari sees as enemies for criticising him or as those who may not do his bidding in manipulating election results. Criticism, choice and being different are inherent trade mark of democracy. If democracy is derailed or aborted, anarchy and authoritarianism will automatically follow.

“Today, as in the day of Abacha, Nigerians must rise up and do what they did in the time of Abacha. Churches and Mosques prayed. International community stood by us Nigerians. I was a beneficiary and my life was saved. Well-meaning Nigerians took appropriate actions and made sacrifices, some supreme, some less than supreme but God had the final say and He took the ultimate action.”

Obasanjo was jailed for life by Abacha on 1995 over an alleged coup plot, but he was released in 1998 after the death of the military ruler.

He was then twice elected president of Nigeria, from 1999 to 2007, having been a military head of state himself from 1976 to 1979.

Obasanjo is only revered outside the shores of the Southwest, always wanted to dictates who takes what. Baba, even though Buhari is not the real solution but your opinion is not pure. If Buhari is not the solution to Nigeria's problems, then why must we go back to the originators of Nigeria's problems.

How people forget so easily! Obasanjo himself was accused of using the EFCC to hound his opponents. He was also accused of trying to perpetuate himself in office.

Comparing this government with Abacha is an insult to those who fought to free him from Abacha's gulag.
Look, just leave the daft PDP sycophants & the IPIGs to masturbate over trash here!
They think we've all forgotten where we're coming from!
They're here hailing the same thieves who established their universities when ASUU was on strike in 2003 & 2005! The same thieves who increased the dollar from N25 in 1999 to N136 (a whooping 500%) within their first tenure! The same thieves who wanted a 3rd term in office!
Imagine if Buhari had withheld Lagos' monthly allocation for years like the monkey did? What would Buhari have been called?
Na the Buhari wey give states including opposition states bailouts twice aside from their monthly allocation wey do bad!
Election no far again!

Look at how some of these idiots are insulting us. I wonder who behaved closely like Abacha. Obasanjo or buhari. This is a man that used state institutions to fight everybody that disagreed with him.

Under this old fool, Harry Marshall was killed, bola Ige was killed. and the Accused was packaged from prison and he became a senator While the case was made to die a natural death till today without being tried. This same ugly old fool ordered for the wipe out of a whole udi community in bayelsa state.

This same old animal sponsored violence in states where governors disagreed with him and subsequently declared state of emergency in those states. Because of his disagreement with Tinubu the then Lagos state governor, he seized the local government allocations for years. In fact, Obasanjo is the least of the past leaders required to talk about abuse of power. The same abuse of power that made him crippled every aspect of government just for his selfish third term bid. He should berry his ugly face in shame.
This is epic

And about his statement, he's really on point.

Just as your fore fathers should have wasted the seamen that gave rise to your generation. Buhari is not even in any comparison with you because he has built a lot of generations both living and yet unborn. but You can't even boast of the transport fare you are looking for, let alone being useful to another person.

Don't mind that old ugly animal called obasanjo. he was the one that Introduced using Ghana must go bag to bribe law makers just to have his way. Every PDP government continued with that until this government came in.

You can easily hear about budget today because the idea of sending money in bags to law makers to approve anything written to them is no more. Hence, they shout about budget not properly drafted as if those people in the budget office started today to draft budget.
