Speaking in an interview with BBC Yoruba, former president, Olusegun Obasanjo said that leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress will be thrown into hell if they were closely scrutinized, Igberetvnews reports.
Obasanjo also accused President Muhammadu of nepotism by being biased in his appointments, placing ethnic considerations above nationalism and merits, Igberetvnews gathered.
He said if the president did not trust people from other ethnic groups enough to give them appointments, he should also not ask for their votes in the coming elections.
Obasanjo’s words translated from Yoruba language: “If we are talking about sin, the people that are there now, if we examine them, they will all enter hellfire.
“They will not just be jailed, they will enter hellfire. Whoever God covers his sin, the person’s secrets are also protected.
“I did not say if Atiku (Abubakar) gets there he will behave like Jesus or Mohammed, but he will do better than what we are seeing now.
“The person who is our leader now is saying he cannot allow another ethnic group to work with him because he cannot trust them. If he cannot trust my tribe or your tribe, of what benefit is he? And he is saying my tribe and yours should come and vote for him.
“He can ask for our votes, but he cannot trust us to work in good positions. Life is give and take. If you cannot trust me, why should I trust you?
“If you put me in a position and I misbehave, why not remove me and put others?
“But those you are putting in positions are your tribesmen and kinsmen because they are the people you can trust.
“Ha ha….Nigeria that we have so many tribes…more than 300….”
This is not the first time the former president is attacking President Buhari, recall that we had reported that Obasanjo in his state of the nation address likened Buhari’s administration to that of the late head of state, Gen. Abacha.
