16 March 2008
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo, his former deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and former chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih, yesterday openly threw verbal jibes at each other, criticising one another's role in the nation's political history in the last decade.

Chief Tony Anenih, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo must remember the Glin's Rules of General Reality - Reality sucks, Truth is subjective and they must deal with it.
All of them had something to do with the rot left by the last administration. At least they have one thing in common - they belong to PDP. The whole world knows what PDP did with the general election from the local,state and federal.
For the Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, he must remember that the "evils that men do lives after them and the good is often in-tied with their bones". However, I must suggest that Alhaji Atiku and Chief Anenih should give the Former President, Obasanjo a break. He did fairly in certain areas of Nigeria Economy - in communication. Before he came to the office, I used to stand in line for five hours at Nitel Office to make a phone call. Right now, I can pick up my cell phone and call any one, any where in the world without stepping out of my living room. On the other hand, the Former President got an "F" in the power sector. Under his watch, his administration spent over ten billon dollars to generate more power shortages across the country.
A time has come for President,Yar'Adua to move ahead with his own plan to solve the power/energy problem in the country. He must not blame Mr. Obasanjo if he fails to solve the energy problem in his first term in the office. One day, God will bless Nigeria with a president who cares about the interest of all Nigerians.
