Obasanjo Is The Father Of Corruption In Nigeria – Oshiomhole

-
The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as the father of corruption in Nigeria. The APC chairman also alleged that the former President tried to bribe the National Assembly to elongate his tenure when he was in power. According to Vanguard, Oshiomhole said this while speaking to APC supporters in Yobe state on Monday, January 21, 2019. The APC chairman also called on Nigerians to ignore the former President’s statements. Obasanjo had on Sunday, January 20, 2019, criticized President Buhari and alleged that the government is planning to rig the upcoming general elections. Insecurity Responding to Obasanjo’s claim that the security situation in the country has worsened under Buhari, Oshiomhole said “We still have security challenges but the arrogance and impunity that was wallowing Nigeria is now a thing of the past. “The situation we find ourselves in now started during Obasanjo’s regime. Do-or-die politics was Obasanjo’s legacy. Today, the era of impeaching state governors is over. “The era of quarreling with Vice President on the streets is over; the era of withdrawal of Lagos state monthly allocations is also one of the legacies of Obasanjo.”

Winning the Champions League and reaching the final of the World Cup saw the Croatian gifted the coveted honour, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Antoine Griezmann taking second and third place respectively. Kylian Mbappe, who did lift the Kope Trophy, made fourth place for his exploits with Paris Saint-Germain and winning the World Cup, meaning Messi had to settle for fifth. Filipe Luis, however, despite playing for a direct rival of Barca in La Liga, believes that the Argentine’s exploits in 2018 – and indeed for the majority of his career – should have landed him the top spot on the podium. “When I get on the pitch my mission is to not let the opponents do anything, be that Messi or any other player,” the Brazili
