The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Sunday lambasted
former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his latest attack on President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Obasanjo had said Nigeria was fast becoming a failed and
polarized state under Buhari’s administration.
However, APC’s Deputy spokesman, Yekini Nabena said Obasanjo
lacked the qualities to criticize Buhari’s administration.
In a statement he signed, Nabena said Obasanjo and his
former deputy, Atiku Abubakar, midwifed most of the rots in Nigeria today,
hence can’t chart a course for Nigeria.
Nabena challenged the former president to explain how his
administration spent $16 billion on power without providing electricity.
He also asked that Atiku Abubakar give an account of
privatisations under him while he was Vice President.
According to Nabena: “It is baffling that the same political
actors that midwifed and institutionalised the national rot, corruption,
impunity and erosion of our value systems are the same characters posing as
voices on the way forward in our national life. How ironic!
“Former President Olusegun Obasanjo could start with telling
us where the electricity is despite $16 billion he spent on the power sector.
“Obasanjo’s deputy, Alh. Atiku Abubakar should account for
the privatisation exercise under his watch which saw national assets sold off
to friends and cronies with no benefit to the country.”
He also said the succeeding Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
administrations should account for the billions allegedly stolen under the
“guise of a fraudulent fuel subsidy regime.”
Nabena added: “These political actors probably only listen
to their own voices because Nigerians have long stopped taking them seriously,
as they simply lack the antecedents and moral credentials to guide Nigeria and
Nigerians to the path of prosperity and progress.
“Instead of the “do or die” lingo they introduced to our
electioneering, votes are beginning to count as our elections improve
steadily.”
