Adams Oshiomhole, former Edo
state governor, says he would arrest ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo if were
Nigeria’s president.
Oshiomhole urged President
Muhammadu Buhari to probe and arrest the former president “if he has committed
any offence”.
According to THISDAY, the former
president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) made the comment on Tuesday at
an event held in honour of late MKO Abiola’s family.
Oshiomhole said: “He should be
arrested if he has committed any offence. He arrested many of us. So, if we are
celebrating Chief Gani Fawehinmi, we have compelling reasons to do so. In all
of these, we didn’t pay any money to Gani or Falana. They defended us pro bono.
“Gani is not here today, but his
spirit is here. Falana is here and today, I am standing. Even the president who
was in charge then, he is now complaining that they want to harass him. He was
harassing me and he got me arrested.
“He thought he himself would not
be arrested? If I were the president I would arrest him. We are all Nigerians.
I remember one day I told him, I said ‘President Obasanjo, we made you
president. You did not make me a Nigerian.
“’You are our creation; I am not
your creation. You must listen’. But he thought he would be in power forever
and he tried to take us on the way to Zimbabwe.
“He was a reluctant Head of
State, became president for two terms and he wanted to do a third term because
a cockroach licking palm oil would never lick enough.”
The former governor is seeking
election as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
