Nigeria Moving Towards Disaster, Instability, Obasanjo Tells Buhari

Nigeria is moving towards disaster and instability, Nigeria’s former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has again warned Nigerians.
The former president disclosed that the economy was unstable, saying that the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration had destroyed the war against corruption, which he said started during his administration.
Obasanjo who accused Predident Buhari of nepotism and over aged, stated that the country was on the edge of the precipice.
Accoding to him, “the progress we are making may be questionable –Is it fast enough? Is it steady enough? Is it stable enough? Are we taking two steps forward and one step backwards or one step sideways?
“You can question that, but we have no choice but to be on (the) path of sustainable development. Any other thing will be a disaster. In fact, the pace at which we are going now is tending more and more towards disaster and instability and unsustainability.”
The former president said he was very worried that the first three top officials of government were from a particular region.
He said the situation had called for concern as it was against the constitution, noting “now, you have a situation where three top officials of government will be from only two northern zones. Ahmed Lawan is from the North-East, the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria is from the North-East, the President of the country is from the North-West.
“They are all from what we call the core North. How can you have that kind of arrangement and then be absolutely insensitive to it?
“So the prescription that our constitution makes for the kind of leadership that should emerge, we have failed to achieve that with the present leadership we have in place. The constitution expects the executive to care for the welfare and security of every Nigerian. But in the present situation, they don’t seem to care.”
Obasanjo also disclosed that the Buhari government had wasted the gains of the past administrations.
He further accused President Buhari of allegedly “corrupting” the fight against corruption, which he (Obasanjo) started during his administration with the creation of two anti-corruption agencies – EFCC and ICPC.
