A former President of Nigeria and
the leader of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Olusegun Obasanho has
stated why President Muhammdu Buhari cannot seize his international passport.
He said the President had plans
to get him arrested and detain him just as a former military Head of State,
General Sani Abacha did to him.
Obasanjo, however, said Buhari
had failed to accomplish such plans because of the international community.
He further explained that the
only option left for the president was to send the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, after him.
Obasanjo in a statement by his
media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Friday said the Buhari led administration
would do this in order to stop him from expressing his angst on what he
described as ‘pervasive mediocrity in the quality of governance.’
Obasanjo said, “The content of
the alleged beastly designs, it was learnt are two-fold for now. One, to seize
his International Passport and clamp him into detention indefinitely, in order
to prevent him from further expressing angst on the pervasive mediocrity in the
quality of governance, economic management and in the protection of lives and
property by the Government.
“But, since that could expose the
Government to a swath of international condemnation, embarrassment and outrage,
it is said that another plot being hatched is to cause the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to re-open investigation into the activities
of Chief Obasanjo’s administration using false witnesses and documents. This
will be a re-enactment of the Abacha era in which Chief Obasanjo was one of the
principal victims’.
“The same EFCC that had conducted a clinical
investigation on the activities of Obasanjo in and out of Government, it was
said, would now be made to stand down the existing report that gave Chief
Obasanjo a clean bill of health on the probes are now to get him indicted, fair
or foul for possible prosecution and persecution like it is being done to real
and perceived opponents, enemies and critics of this Government.”
