Former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo, on Sunday, told the President Muhammadu Buhari government that he was
not scared of arrest.
He vowed to continue to speak
against the All Progressives Congress (APC) despite the “intimidation”.
In a lengthy statement by his media team on Sunday, Obasanjo said he also got
information about cabal in the government and that former Lagos governor, Bola
Tinubu, is the one now running Buhari’s re-election campaign.
The statement titled “Points or
concerns and actions” reads in part: “I have been threatened with arrest and
extermination but I will not succumb to intimidation or threats.
“Maybe I should remind those who
are using probe as a threat that I have been probed four times by EFCC, ICPC,
House of Representatives and the Senate and Buhari has access to reports of
these probes.
“But I have also challenged
Buhari and the criminals around him to set up a probe on the same allegations
and I will face such probe in public.
“But I know that these criminals
cannot withstand a Police inquiry let alone clinical probe on the past public
offices they held. My fervent prayer is that President Buhari may live to see
the will and purpose of God for Nigeria.
“My final appeal to him is to
desist from evil with manipulation and desperation because evil has
repercussion especially as man who should watch and be mindful of his
self-acclaimed and packaged integrity.
“At the end of the day, those who
goad you on will leave you in the lurch. You will be left alone, naked and
unheralded.
“In defeat, which must be
Buhari’s fear leading to desperation, he and his co-travellers can still
maintain modicum of decency, and exhibit fear of God in their actions.
“We have been told that governance
has been abdicated to a cabal. Now, campaigning has been abdicated to
‘jagaban’.”
