NIGERIA: Bola Tinubu Guilty Of Certificate Forgery Like Impeached Former House Speaker Salisu Buhari – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that the former governor of Lagos State,Asiwaju Bola Tinubu forged his certificate the same way the impeached former speaker of the House of Representatives, Salisu Buhari did.

Obasanjo said this at the 4th Annual Ibadan Sustainable Development Summit organized by the Centre for Sustainable Development, University of Ibadan, in conjunction with the African Sustainable Development Network.

He said, ” Salisu Buhari; you can still recall what happened to him. You said Bola Tinubu is your master. What Buhari did was not anything worse than what Bola Tinubu did.”

He alleged that the younger generation of leaders had abysmally failed Nigerians with their lack of integrity and probity. According to the former president , the younger generation of leaders that had failed the nation as include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former governor of Delta State James Ibori, former governor of Edo State Lucky Igbinedion and former Bayelsa State Governor Deprieye Alamieyeseigha.

“We had some people who were under 50years in leadership positions. One of them was James Ibori, where is he today? One of them was Alamieyeseigha, where is he today? Lucky Igbinedion, where is he today?

“We got them (Salisu and Alamieyesigha) impeached. But in this part of the world some people covered up the other man. The man claimed he went to Government College, Ibadan but the governor (Oyo State) went to Government College and packed all the documents so that they would not know that he did not go there. I wanted someone who would succeed me; so I took Atiku. Within a year, I started seeing the type of man Atiku is. And you want me to get him there?”, he said.

Obasanjo also averred that leadership problem plaguing Nigeria was an indication that the nation may have been jinxed and cursed.

According to him, “if Nigerians are yet to commend a leader after 53 years of independence, then we are jinxed and cursed; we should all go to hell.”

“Abacha, my predecessor got $750m. Through our lawyer in Switzerland we recovered $1.25bn and the lawyer still said there is probably still another $1bn to be recovered [The figures didn't add up but that was what the former President said]. In 1979 we had 20 new ships specially built for Nigeria. When I came back 20 years after, the national shipping line had liquidated.

“The whole thing is not just about leadership. If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers. If you talk about human right you should also talk about human duties and obligations.

“It is sad that after 53years of independence we have no leader that we can commend.
The problem in Africa is that when one person takes over he would not see any good thing that his predecessor did. Let us condemn but with caution.”
