Obasanjo Caused Nigeria’s Problem Says Fani-Kayode….See Why

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Thursday berated former President Olusegun Obasanjo for anointing President Goodluck Jonathan as the nation’s president despite opposition by some members of his kitchen cabinet.

He contended that Obasanjo is responsible for the present problem experienced in the country as a result of alleged Jonathan inefficiency.

Fani-Kayode who spoke with journalists in Osogbo, the Osun State capital yesterday noted that President Jonathan has failed and disappointed Nigerians, especially the Yoruba nation, saying the alleged incompetence of the president has caused many problems for the nation.

He equally opined that the Yoruba nation had been marginalised by the Jonathan’s administration and thereby called on all Yoruba people to vote out Jonathan in 2015, saying any attempt to allow him stay in office beyond 2015 would spell doom for the Yoruba nation.

Fani-Kayode, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and now a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) also said: “President Obasanjo has started cleaning up the mess he caused by putting Jonathan in office.”

According to him “Obasanjo is my great leader who I have a lot of respect for and I will continue to respect him but the truth is Obasanjo caused the problem we experience today. The joy of it is that the same Obasanjo who anointed an incompetent leader for Nigeria is now cleaning up the mess.

“The country has five Presidents and they are Mrs. Patience Jonathan, Mrs. Aliezen Madueke, Mrs. Stella Oduah, Mrs. Okonjo Iweala and Dr Goodluck Jonathan. All these five presidents control the nation, but the most powerful of them all is Mrs. Jonathan. She is so powerful that no one can control her and whatever she says is final in this country.”The former minister also pointed out that most of the officials in Jonathan’s government, rather than take instruction from the President, take instruction from Mrs Jonathan adding that “the President’s wife has done more evils than good for the country.”

While speaking on the state of the nation, he said: “Jonathan has disappointed Nigerians in all sectors of the economy and if he should allow to continue in office, this country is heading for serious disaster.”

He condemned the administration of President Jonathan, stressing that the Ijaw ethnic nationality which he said was a minority now controls the entire nation without giving considerations to various factors that bind the country together.

“Nigeria is more divided now than any time in our history. We are faced with a government that only believes in Ijaw value. The ijaw people have succeeded in imposing only what favour them over the overall people of the nation,” he said.

Fani-Kayode alleged that the boko haram sect has killed more Muslims than Christians in the North, alleging that the activities of the sect may continue until Jonathan leaves office.
