Sen. Abdullahi Adamu,
representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District, has expressed concern over the
manner former President Olusegun Obasanjo criticised President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Adamu, who stated this while
briefing newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, said Obasanjo’s criticisms of Buhari
was not dignifying.
He was reacting to a recent
report credited to the former president, where he said he was not neutral
regarding his support for a specific presidential candidate in the 2019 general
elections.
Adamu said: “while he is entitled
to criticise and also campaign against the re-election bid of Buhari, he should
not be pedestrian in doing that.
“What was Obasanjo’s record in office when he ran this country first from Feb.
1976 to Oct. 1979, and subsequently from May 1999 to May 2007.
“Would there have been the
desperate and notoriously corrupt bid for a third term in office that was
witnessed by Nigerians if he had a good record by then,” Adamu said.
According to the lawmaker, under
Obasanjo’s watch, most of Nigeria’s strategic investments were sold without
much to show as returns to the nation.
“No Nigerian of repute who knows
Obasanjo’s antecedents will be surprised at his current criticism of Buhari.
“He is going off the line of fair comment in
this circumstance, and I believe eminent citizens of this country need to call
him to order,” the lawmaker said. (NAN)
