Though former President Olusegun Obasanjo was not mentioned, all the facts pointed to events that took place under his administration. President Muhammadu Buhari had last week accused Obasanjo’s administration of wasting $16bn on power projects without any visible result. He said none of the absurdities recorded when the PDP was in charge of the country had happened under President Buhari. “The PDP President at that time had reportedly told Obi to forget re-election in 2007 if he did not join the PDP because he (the President) would not support a non-PDP member. It added that the Buhari Presidency and the APC had, since assumption of office, violated all tenets of democracy, trampled on citizens’ rights.
