‘Your “Evil” Actions Destroying Nigerian Democracy’ Obasanjo Goes Hard On Jonathan

Again Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is not stopping any time soon at slamming the man he single handedly made Vice-President to the then Umaru Musa Yar’adua he also picked to rule Nigeria.

At a book Launch in Abuja, to honour the Pioneer Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, Obasanjo said Nigerian democracy remained at risk due to the action of the present administration.

Obasanjo urged Jonathan to stop encouraging ‘verbal violence which may not physically hurt but has ways of degenerating into physical violence’.

Mr. Obasanjo said the greatest indictment against any administration is to be seen trying to destroy opposition of all sort?s which invariably mean destroying democracy.

“Management of democracy without resorting to brute force and dictatorial tendencies must be cultivated,” the former President said.

“As a leader, you must not deliberately do evil or condone evil. You should know that you will one day give account to God, you may cover up here, but before God, there is no cover up.”

On Boko Haram insurgency, ?corruption, the economy and youth unemployment, here’s what the former BOT Chairman of the ruling PDP said..

“Boko Haram is not out to “frustrate anyone’s political efforts” and lamented that it took Mr. Jonathan the years to ?fully understand the menace.

On corruption, Mr. Obasanjo said, “when the head is rotten, the whole body is useless”

On the economy, he said Nigeria would continue to sink deeper and that what Nigerians are told about the state of the economy “is not truly what the economy is”.

“The economy is in doldrums, if not in reverse,” he said.

Mr. Obasanjo’s latest attack on the President is coming seven days after he rated Mr. Jonathan’s performance as below average.
