He admonished President Goodluck Jonathan to be wary of Obasanjo\u2019s counsel.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Owie, who was reacting to\u00a0 recent comments credited to the former President, that corruption was the major problem confronting the nation, said Obasanjo lacked the moral right to comment on such issues, when his administration actually \u201cinstitutionalised corruption in its eight years in power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cObasanjo must not talk at all. As a matter of fact, the problem we have in the country was created by Obasanjo and so he should keep his mouth shut and allow this administration\u00a0 concentrate on what it wants to do.<\/p>\n<p>How can Obasanjo talk about corruption as being entrenched in Nigeria.His administration entrenched corruption in the country. Who brought the regime of \u2018Ghana must\u2019 go bags to the National Assembly?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho owned the bags of millions of naira displayed on the floor of the House of Representatives in the 4th National Assembly? What of the Obasanjo library? What was the source of the funds for the library? Obasanjo is not competent to talk about corruption.<\/p>\n<p>The EFCC under him was used against his perceived enemies. Ribadu, his agent has reaped the rewards of wickedness of the actions Obasanjo used him for. He was presidential candidate of the ACN yet even his party members voted against him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>EFCC under Obasanjo went after Governors who were not Obasanjo\u2019s friends,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Owie admonished President Jonathan to \u201cbe careful because a lot of Nigerians are expecting so much from him. He has conscience but some of these people do not have. So he should be careful with some of the advises being given to him by people like Obasanjo. Obasanjo ruined this nation and if not for God and some dogged Nigerians, he would have still remained in power there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
