Naija News reports that Obasanjo, during the birthday Colloquium of former Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, stated that “Democracy is not about power grabbing illegally and telling victims to go to court.”
The former President slammed Tinubu for suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara; his Deputy, Ngozi Odu and the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Reacting in a statement on Wednesday, the Special Assistant to Tinubu on Social Media, Olusegun Dada, described Obasanjo as the grandfather of hypocrisy in Nigeria at the moment.
He accused Obasanjo of turning himself into a kingmaker and a demigod in his second term in office between 2003-2004.
His statement read: “Coming to Obasanjo’s remarks at the Ihedioha Colloquium, it is obvious that OBJ is trying every trick possible to whitewash his bad democratic records by trying to exonerate himself from blame for how Nigeria’s democracy has fared.
“It is shocking to many who were adults during the Obasanjo 1999-2007 era to hear OBJ preaching that “Democracy is not about power grabbing illegally and telling victims to go to court.” He even said democracy is dying in Nigeria.
“This is the same OBJ that turned himself into a kingmaker and a demigod in his second term in office between 2003-2004. Anybody who disagreed with him became prey.
“This is an OBJ who worked with his then VP, Atiku Abubakar to steal opposition states for PDP thanks to their job man, Prof. Maurice Iwu who was INEC Chairman. OBJ made sure incumbent governors of Ekiti, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, and Oyo states who all belonged to AD were rigged out using federal might. Only Lagos survived the rigging onslaught.
