Former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu, has described former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, as a joker.
Kalu says that Obasanjo is no more taken seriously by many Nigerians, while also describing him as being responsible for everything wrong with the country.
Kalu said this at a public enlightenment programme on the electoral process, organised by the Organisation of Tadhamunul Muslimeen and the Ogun State chapter of the Muslim Congress.
He said: “Obasanjo is a man who would say that Nigeria needs ‘Do-tanks’ and not ‘Think-tanks’. But he would be quick to reverse his statement at any given point in time, when he sees any opportunity that calls for him to do so, Kalu says. Obasanjo does not speak brightly, but comically.
He wants people to laugh for him on even serious matters of discourse. Obasanjo wants the international community to see him as an innocent person.”
“Obasanjo does not know how un-seriously people take him. Obasanjo’s posture and move to influence the government of President Muhammadu Buhari has been rejected riby many people.
Remember that a senator from Edo State is vehemently opposed to Obasanjo’s Think-tank report submitted to Buhari.”
“In response to Obasanjo, the lawmaker simply asked in a commentary “How can Obasanjo be preparing a blueprint for Buhari? A Bini parable says, ‘how can an impotent man get medicine for his brother, who suffers weak erection?”
“Wonders will never end! How can Obasanjo who allegedly wasted eight years in government pursuing perceived enemies and tried to ruin the legislative and judicial arms of government in Nigeria; wasted $16 billion on power and not a single kilowatt of energy was produced, destroyed Aladja Steel, Itakpe Steel, Ajaokuta Steel, NITEL, just to mention a few FGN parastatals, now begin to advise Buhari?”
“How can Obasanjo, whose government received, in one year, revenue equivalent of the total revenue that IBB regime received in eight years, with nothing to show for it, be handing over blue-print to the Buhari administration?”
