ALHAJI Balarabe Musa, an elder statesman has described former President Olusegun as one who went far as killing his political opponent when he was civilian president from 1999 to 2007.
He accused Obasanjo of laying the foundation for impunity in the country.
According to resh report as published by The Nation Newspaper, the former Kaduna state governor accused Obasanjo of doing worse than the present government in terms of using instruments of state to harass political opponents or opposition.
The elder statesman was reacting to the former president’s state of the nation press conference.
In a telephone interview with The Nation's correspondent, the elder statesman said: “Not only harass his political opponents but killed them. Obasanjo did that. Obasanjo did worse than what is happening today. In fact he continued like his predecessors in laying the foundation for the present negative state of the nation.
“I have been aware of obasanjo’s attitude towards those in power. Since after he handed power as a military president, he has been consistently acting like an agent provocateur on behalf of international imperialism. Particularly now that Nigeria has no alternative.
“It can’t rely on PDP, it can’t rely on the APC. They are both the same. They are both at the root of the present negative state of the nation and most unfortunately, there is no credible, demonstrative and qualitative alternative in view from the political system. Nigeria is now facing a calamity and Obasanjo is using it, apparently to serve the interest of imperialism.
“Watch it, instead of using his relevance as former head of state to correct things, he always wait until things are bad and he makes it even worse.
