But quite on the contrary,Chief Olusegun Obasanjo bears the sole blame for the Boko Haram insurgency. When the Hausa/Fulanis reared their ugly heads with their Nigerians Sharia Movement and their inuagurations of sharia under the Chief's Presidency,he failed to nip that in the bud.For political expediency he tactically gave an approval to his then Attorney General,Chief Ige who dubbed sharia as a constitutional excercise.He even allowed himself to be suckered into attending an Islamic Summit in Malaysia in keeping with Nigeria being an Islamic country.But are we? When thousands of Christians were slaughtered by the muslims because they dared protest the imposition of sharia upon them,our Christian Prersident,Chief Olusegun Obasanjo took no action against them. The Boko Haram terrorists are the military wing of Nigerian Sharia Movement,which President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonthan inherited from Chief Obasanjo.The aim of these Hausa/Fulani terrorists is the Islamization and Sharialization of Nigeria.They demand among other things,that our Christian President should convert into their crack pot religion of peace,Islam and must adopt the Quran as the mode for his governance of our nation. No Chief Obasanjo!;mea culpa, vis-a-vis the Boko Haram sect is yours.That President Jonathan reopened the Halliburton bribery scandal of which you are deeply involved,doesn't give you the right for this faux pas against our dear President. Up North,there is a call for the execution of corrupt officials.And all our ex-Military Leaders are corrupt and putrified to their bone marrows.The very idea that our dear Chief might be sent to the gallow makes me want to laugh.I de lauhg-o-o!
OBASANJO IS A MAN I RESPECT SO MUCH FROM THE FILES OF PAST NIGERIAN LEADERS.BUT I HAVE RESERVATIONS FOR HIM. INDEED THERE A SO MANY THINGS LIKE THE CARTING AWAY OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT FROM THE NORTH WHO HAD THOUGT IT WAS THEIR BIRTHT RIGHT. OBASANJO REALLY PRUMED THE FEATHERS OF THE NORTH AND USHERED IN SOME ECONOMIC POLICIES THAT IS TODAY AFFECTING LIVE OF THE COMMON NIGERIAN POSITIVELY. BUT OBASANJO HAS NO MORAL GROUND TO SAY JONATHAN SHOULD HAVE THE BLAME ON THE BOKO HARAM. THE BOKO HARAM APOSTLES WERE SOME FORMER PRESIDENTS AND SOME STATE GOVERNORS FROM THE NORTH WHO ENCOURAGED ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIM BY OPTING OIC AND INSTITUTING SHARIA LAWS. AS SOON AS JOATHAN WAS USHEWRD IN SOME DO OR DIE POLITICIANS FROM THE NORTH INCITED VIOLENCE TO THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION. TODAY, THE VIOLENCE HAS GONE EVEN OUT OF THIER CONTROL IF EVER THEY EVEN WANT CONTROL.THE VIOLENCE HAS JOINED THE INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC TERRORLIM SWEEPING ACCROSS THE WORLD. OBJ HAS NO MORAL RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT CORRUPTION. HE ENCOURAGED CORRUPTION.WHAT ABOUT HIS HANDLIND OF BODE GEORGE CONNECTION WITH NIGERIA PORT AUTHORITY, WHAT ABOUT HIS MARGINALIZATION OF THE EAST, WHAT ABOUT HIS INVOVEMENT WITH UBAH FAMILY IN ANAMBRA TO DESTABLISE THE STATE. THE LIST IS ENDLESS. OR IT THE TRADITION OF DO AND DIE POLITICS HE INTRODUCED INTO THE POLITY THAT JONATHAN'S GOVERNMENT HAS ALLMOST PUT TO AN END. WHAT OBASANJO SHOULD DO IS TO JOIN WITH THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT AND TACKLE THE PRESENT PROBLEMS.THE BOKO HARAM SYMDROME HAS INTERNATIONAL DIMENTION. IT IS EVEN MORE SERIOUS THAN THE NIGER DELTA MILLITANCY.IT IS JIHAD WAR ON NIGERIA'S CIVIL ORDER.
