Obasanjo Calls Out Buhari Over Insecurity Yet Again, Says “This Govt Confused”

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has once again called out President Muhammadu Buhari for his inability to tackle the security challenges and orgies of bloodshed in the country.

Obasanjo who spoke on Wednesday through former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, at a one-day national summit on insecurity and killings in Nigeria, convened by the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) said the Buhari administration had done and was still doing serious damage to Nigeria’s commonwealth and heritage, insisting that the president’s team was not only incompetent but also incapable of addressing the killings and poverty in the country.

The former president was adamant that the administration was confused and at its wits end while the nation was being left to drift perilously.

He noted that instead of proffering solutions, the government had been busy “giving one unrighteous and unacceptable justification after the other”.

Obasanjo also recalled the discussion he had with Ango Abdullahi about the danger to the nation’s democracy when he hosted him and other elder statesmen in Abeokuta some weeks ago. He said:

“When you kindly paid me a visit a couple of weeks ago, we deliberated on the danger to our democracy, our common identity, our commonality of purpose, our dream and our unity in diversity. We lamented the harm that the present administration of President Buhari, by his action and inaction, has done and is doing to our commonwealth and our common heritage.”

He said the country had never been so divided along religious and regional lines as at today with inexcusable killings and devastating poverty.

Obasanjo, however, expressed hope that in spite of the unfortunate situations created by the Buhari government, his consultations with people had given him hope.
