Obj won’t escape Buhari’s probe - Oseni

Contrary to what many Nigerians feel
that the anti-corruption campaign of
the Muhammadu Buhari
administration is targeted at his
predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, a
former Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, and sitting senator,
retired Lt-General Jeremiah Useni
says that this is not the case.
He stated that the administration will
soon go after Jonathan’s predecessor,
former president Olusegun Obasanjo,
as soon as it is done with the
Jonathan years.

Useni who is also a former military
governor of the old Bendel State, now
representing Plateau South in the
National Assembly, in an interview
reiterated the view expressed by his
colleague, Dino Melaye, that
Obasanjo “brought corruption to the
National Assembly with the way he
was giving out money to senators
especially when he wanted to go for
third term. He spent a lot of money
he can’t account for.”
According to the lawmaker, “What
Buhari is doing now, is like what
Awolowo said when he was Minister
of Finance under General Gowon and
the government then put up a probe
and wanted to go backward to past
government. But Awolowo said no;
new logs go on top of old ones, to get
to the old ones; you must remove the
new ones first.
“That is what Buhari is doing now,
trying to clear the new logs so that he
can get access to the old ones; when
he clears the new ones and gets
access to the old ones, the case of
Obasanjo will come up.”
