OBJ is a bully that has no regard for anybody - Obono-Obla

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria former President

Chairman of the Special Presidential Panel on Recovery of Stolen Public Asset, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla has said that former President Olusegun
Obasanjo is a bully that has no regard for anybody.

Obla while reacting to recent attack on Buhari by the former President in a Facebook post maintained that Obasanjo has no modicum of authority to question the democratic credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Presidential aide who doubles as the Special Assistant on Prosecution to the President added that the former President lacks the moral authority to compare Buhari's administration to that of former Head of State, General Sani Abacha.

He maintained that under Obasanjo's administration, there was no respect for the rule of law nor the nation's constitution.

"Olusegun Obasanjo has no modicum of moral authority to denounce or question the democratic credentials of President Muhammadu Buhari ! He doesn’t have scintilla or moral authority to compare PMB government with that of late Gen Sani Abacha is his record as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Obasanjo was despotic as President through and through ! He breached the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria numerous times that the National Assembly almost impeach him. Indeed , an impeachment notice was served on him", the statement reads in part.

He added that "He (Obasanjo) ordered the army to carry out genocidal attacks on hapless communities in Benue and Bayelsa State respectively ! Hundreds of Nigerians were killed in the process.

Obasanjo masterminded the impeachment of the then  Governor Peter Fayose of Ekiti State ; Dariye of Plateau State ; Ladoja of Oyo State ; late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha of Bayelsa State !

Obasanjo unconstitutionally declared State of emergency in Plateau State and appointed a Sole administrator"

Continuing, he said that "Obasanjo also subverted the judicial branch of government by compromising Judges to do his bidding including compelling them to deliver perverse judgments in election matters !

Obasanjo unconstitutionally withheld allocations to local governments in Lagos State!

Obasanjo used all sort of chicanery and subterfuge to alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to elongate his stay in office.

He masterminded the removal from office of three Senate Presidents! Obasanjo ruthlessly fought his Vice President and rendered him ineffective and redundant.

He treated Governors of States in a condescending manner and always talk down on them. He declared the 2007 general election a do or die affairs. Obasanjo is a bully! Obasanjo has no regard for anybody".
