Obasanjo Accuses President Buhari Government Of Corrupt, Nepotism

Ex-Nigeria President Olusegun Obasanjo has claimed that many of those in the present government are tainted with corruption and if exposed could end up not only in jail, but they will go to hell.

Obasanjo, a major critic of the present administration accused President Muhammadu Buhari of nepotism and members of his government of corruption. But he could not provide proof of his claims in an interview with BBC Yoruba.

“This is not a prophecy. Those in government today, if we expose them, all of them will enter hell; they will not only go to jail. They will go to hell. Whoever that God does not expose his sins to the public is the person whose secret is kept.”

The ex-president noted that Buhari did not pay attention to the sensitive configuration of the country as a multi-ethnic and multi-region diversity.

According to him, the President gave priorities to his ethnic group when appointing people into sensitive positions.

"“In Nigeria, where we have tribes numbering about 500, you now said you could not trust some people. That is what we are saying," the ex-president lamented.

“Look at what is happening, the person that is leading us says he cannot appoint any other tribes into the posts he considers sensitive because he does not trust them. If he cannot trust my tribe and your tribe what is the benefit? 

"He still wants my tribe and your tribe to vote for him. So, he can ask us to vote for him but he cannot trust us to be appointed into sensitive positions. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.
“If you don’t trust us, how do you want me to trust you? If you trust me and I misbehave replace me with another person. But if only your maternal and paternal relatives are the only people you can appoint because they are the only people you can trust…
He also assessed the president performance in the area of the economy, he concluded that the country is worse than his initial assessment of the president ability in 2015.

“Look at our economy, is it the way it should be? Our economy can never develop if foreign investors do not come to invest in the economy. But, as it is, they are not coming into the country and they will never come.”
