Obasanjo at it again, says Buhari leading Nigeria to calamity
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has descended on President Muhammadu Buhari and his government again.
This time Obasanjo said that Buhari’s administration is leading Nigeria more to disaster, instability and un-sustainability.
Obasanjo stated this in a recent interview with Premium Times at his family home at Ibogun Olaogun in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State
Obasanjo, who had noted that Nigeria made good steps forward after the return of Independence in 1999, however regretted the pace at which Buhari government is moving the country.
He said, “I think we have no choice but to be on the path for sustainable development. 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 back or one step side-way?
“You can question that, but we have no choice but to be on (the) path for sustainable development. Any other thing will be a disaster. In fact, the pace at which we are going now is tending more and more toward disaster and instability and unsustainability.”
