Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), says ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is a worse dictator than Sani
Abacha, ex-military head of state.
Oshiomhole
said this in reaction to the comment of Obasanjo that President Muhammadu
Buhari is returning the country to
the era of Abacha when state institutions were used to fight
perceived enemies of the government.
“Today,
another Abacha Era is here. The security institutions are being misused to
fight all critics and opponents of Buhari and to derail our fledgling
democracy,” Obasanjo had said in reaction to the suspension of Walter
Onnoghen, former chief justice of Nigeria.
But when
he featured on a Channels
Television programme, Oshiomhole disagreed that the country is drifting
into a dictatorial state.
“Let’s
face it, Obasanjo can’t look me in the eyes and say those things. He is a worse
dictator, he was worse than Abacha,” Oshiomhole said.
“How many people disappeared
under Abacha’s watch compared to the number of Nigerians that disappeared under
Obasanjo’s watch including his own attorney general who didn’t get justice. He
is not a fit and proper person.
“Don’t talk about Obasanjo,
let’s face it. The problem I have is that in Nigeria, Obasanjo seems to have
his cake and have it. He cannot talk about morality. Nigeria’s democracy cannot
be stable if the rules are only made for the poor.”
