FORMER Kaduna State governor Balarabe Musa and a civil society organisation, the Centre for Democracy (CD) yesterday accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of laying the foundation for impunity in the country.

The elder statesman accused Obasanjo of doing worse than the present government in terms of using instruments of state to harass political opponents or opposition.

He was reacting to the former president’s state of the nation press conference.

In a telephone interview with The Nation, Musa said: “Not only harass his political opponents but killed them. Obasanjo did that. Obasanjo did worse than what is happening today. In fact he continued like his predecessors in laying the foundation for the present negative state of the nation.
