Obasanjo’s govt most corrupt in Nigeria’s history — Kalu. The reply

-


Orji Uzor Kalu

Is so unfortunate up to this time in Nigeria’s politics, most are still making unnecessary statements out of selfish interest. The former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu while addressing members of All Progressive Congress at the house of governorship aspirant and former speaker, Mr. Femi Bamisile at GRA in Ado Ekiti made a statement that “Obasanjo’s government is the most corrupt ever in the history of this nation”. He went further to say, “he had nothing on him when he became president, but before he left the Presidency, he was able to rebuild Ota Farm and he also acquired farmlands across the country, built a legacy library, a university and many other private projects”.

I am just imagining why blackboard should laugh at charcoal. Obasanjo, yes invested money in personal projects, but he brought a lot of innovations in the country compared to the present administration; like the use of mobile phone became common in his regime, and many other things. Even his investments have direct positive impart to common citizens, at least he provided food through his farm, education through his university and knowledge and research through library.
Little wonder then, Orji Uzor Kalu invested basically in transportation, sea and air, of which has no impart on common Nigerians. It has been observed that most of  these politicians that make these unimportant statement as a result of  lack of composure to face press, so therefore they say what comes to mouth.

Comparing President Muhammadu Buhari with Obansanjo is an error comparison. What Buhari has been able to achieve in the country is uncalled favouritism which has brought about extended tribal and regional hatred, hunger and frustration. President Buhari has no right format to better Nigeria. Let us stop chasing shadows and face our problems squarely, that is just the way forward.
We should tell ourselves the truth, let us do away with political favouritism and give Nigeria the chance to live again.

MUHAMADU BUHARI'S ADMINISTRATION, A FAILED DEMOCRACY - Buhari

                      President Muhammadu Buhari - Photo by Anonymous T he fact that youths are leaders of today and tomorrow to an extent has almost turned out to be a pure fallacy considering the operations of the leaders; and not giving the youths the opportunity to give their views and contribute effectively to the country's political development. Nigeria as a nation that portrays herself as giant of Africa has turned to be a mock by other African countries that look up to her in terms of economy, security and collaborative support. Remarkably, Nigeria has been in a very bad state for decades, but things worsened since Muhammadu Burahi emerged President of the Federal Republic. Muhammadu Buhari turned a deaf leader that has refused to listen to the cry of the citizens.  Apparently, the abject suffering of citizens is as a result of Muhamadu Buhari's unreasonable policies and selfish interest to monopolize the general affairs of a country that belongs to millions of people
