Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has stated that ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Muhammadu Buhari should not be compared. Buhari had hinted on the possibility of probing Obasanjo over the failed $16 billion power project.
Responding, Obasanjo noted that he was ready to be investigated. In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode listed the achievements of both men while in power.
He wrote: “Obasanjo was in power from 1976 to 1979. He did very well and he handed over power to a democratically elected Govt. Buhari toppled that govt in 1983 and terrorised and killed Nigerians for 2 years until he himself was removed in a military coup by his collegues in the army.
“Obasanjo was elected President in 1999 and remained in power till 2007. He did exceptionally well,repaired and strengthed our economy, built up our foreign reserves, paid off our foreign debts, restored our pride and reputation in the int. community and so much more.
“Buhari was elected President in 2015 and divided the country, destroyed our economy, preached hatred, presided over genocide, stole money and hunted his perceived enemies like animals. Buhari is not 10 per cent of the man that OBJ is. When compared to OBJ Buhari is nothing.”
