Ayo Adebanjo, a chieftain of
Afenifere, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure between
1999 and and 2007 as a “tragedy and calamity.”
Adebanjo said Obasanjo’s
scorecard as a civilian president was nothing to write home about.
He stated this in chapter 13 of
the 233-page autobiography titled “Tell it as it is” which was presented in
Lagos yesterday.
In chapter 13 of the 233-paged
book, titled, ‘Awolowo, Obasanjo and the Yoruba Nation,’ Adebanjo said Obasanjo
failed “woefully on all counts as president.”
Adebanjo wrote: “The man who
carried on as if he was all-in-all failed woefully on all counts as President.
His eight-year tenure (1999-2007) was a tragedy.
“His scorecard was nothing to
write home about. What did he do in eight years? Before he came, we were buying
fuel for N20 per litre, and crude oil was $23 per barrel.
“In 2007, under his regime, we
were buying fuel at N75 per litre, and crude oil was between $65 and $75 per
barrel. In the worst days of Abacha, one dollar was over N120.”
