With the continued criticism greeting former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his recent stance on national issues, former Chief Whip of the senate, Senator Rowland Owie has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the administration of the former president.
Owie said his call became necessary because of recent revelation of alleged fraudulent activities during the tenure of Obasanjo as president between 1999 and 2007. He also described the former President as an anti-democrat.
Owie said that President Goodluck Jonathan would emerge victorious despite the challenges being faced by his administration adding that Obasanjo was the architect of the problems being suffered today by Nigerians due to his alleged misrule and failure to create jobs for the youths of the North and other parts of the country.
“And that is why today immediately he left Boko Haram started killing Nigerians in the North because Obasanjo’s regime failed to create jobs for our youths,” he said.
According to Owie, “I read in the papers yesterday of shocking revelations of fraud perpetrated by Obasanjo’s administration. I urge the police and the EFCC to start investigating these allegations immediately. Some of us have been saying it that Obasanjo’s regime has been the most corrupt regime that ever ruled this country.
“In the Benin Kingdom before the arrival of the white man, who diluted our culture with regards to corrupt practices, a man like Obasanjo, ought to just take his bath and leave a note of apology for his well wishers and the kingdom for diverting the common wealth of the people and go to Zegbele.
“Obasanjo is the worst that had happened to Nigeria. He should be probed by EFCC publicly. Jonathan is working day and night to clean up the mess he left behind yet he cannot see any thing good in the man and for some of us it is satanic,” he asserted.
