An Igbo interest group, Voice from the East, VEAST, has taken a swipe at the
President Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as well as former president, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, describing them as corrupt leaders.
The group which made the sweeping allegation in a release on the backdrop of
the recent altercations between the duo, posited that a Buhari accusing Obasanjo
of corruption is like the pot calling the kettle black.
According to the release signed by the Convener of VEAST, Comrade Kindness
Jonah, Buhari is grandstanding by incriminating Obasanjo over the 16 billion
dollars power project.
Buhari accusing Obasanjo of corruption, when as it were, both are not free from
the same accusation, Buhari is evidently more tetra tonic neck-deep than
Obasanjo in the ocean of corruption," the group posits.
The organisation also posits that accusing Obasanjo of corruption over the power
project is "a diversionary grandstanding by Buhari to shift the public eyes from
the glaring woeful failure he is in governance in comparison to Obasanjo."
Maintaining their stance that Buhari is as corrupt as Obasanjo, the group pointed
out that in as much as misappropriating public funds is not good in any way,
Buhari as a Petroleum Minister in 1978 allegedly misappropriated funds.
Still affirming that Buhari is not corruption free, the organisation drew attention
to the 25 billion dollars of October, 2017 missing in NNPC account with Baru as
GMD and Buhari as the Minister of Petroleum.
"Since Buhari came on board as President, Nigeria has bled to coma in public loot
far more than any other government in history, at least in Nigeria," the group also
alleges.
Talking about insecurity in the land, VEAST, pointed out that under Buhari, there
has been a lot of bloodshed in Nigeria.
;In the area of bloodshed, Buharis regime has killed far more Nigerians than any
other in history in the rulership of Nigeria,the group alleges.
The group blamed Obasanjo and Jonathan of failing to restructure Nigeria which is
what probably plunged Nigeria into chaos, socially, economically and otherwise.
VEAST had expected Obasanjo who had had it all, knew the nooks and crannies
of Islamic expansionism right from his military days before the war, to have
hatched a plan to nip the Islamic excesses to bud," the group accuses.
