The Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has again called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate former President Olusegun
Obasanjo for the alleged misdeeds during his tenure.

He said
Nigerians should hold the former president responsible for 65 per cent
of the problems that have bedeviled the country in recent times, since
he superintended over the affairs of the country for 13 years.

Addressing
the party’s presidential campaign rally in Yobe State, yesterday,
Oshiomhole accused Obasanjo of allegedly bribing legislators during his
tenure.

Oshiomhole said: “President Obasanjo ruled the country
for 13 years, so whatever are the sins of Nigeria, Obasanjo carries 65
per cent of the burden of that sin. He introduced corruption to the
National Assembly giving every senator N100 million, and House of
Representatives N50 million.

“Where did he get that money from?
Mr. President, in the name of Almighty God, you have a duty when you are
re-elected; you have a duty to use this broom. We know it will be
shorter, and you know the shorter the more effective it will be. You
must find answers, with all due respect, to the mismanagement that Chief
Obasanjo did,” he said.

Oshiomhole who also addressed the party
faithful in Hausa, said Obasanjo was exhibiting desperation because he
was afraid of his betrayal having seen the turnout everywhere President
Buhari has gone for campaign.

He also alleged that Obasanjo and
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were jittery that the president has
been able to withstand the rigour of campaigns and has pulled large
crowd at every rally.

According to him, Obasanjo and his PDP collaborators believe that the President Buhari will not be able to campaign.

“They said the president is not campaigning when he said that Bola Tinubu will lead the campaigns.

“As
a matter of a man of honour, he said Asiwaju you will lead my campaign,
which is just a statement of modesty, acknowledging that there are
other parties.

“They said he should come out, lead it by himself.
When he decided to lead the campaigns, they said that everyday he is
campaigning,” the APC chairman said.

On his part, President
Buhari used the opportunity to thank the people of Yobe State for
supporting his election in 2015, noting that he had fulfilled the
promise made to reduce the cost of fertiliser to enable farmers improve
on their productivity.

The president cautioned that the federal
government will not tolerate any attempt to hoard or sell fertiliser
above approved price.

Buhari who spoke to an excited crowd of
party supporters who thronged the Yobe Township Stadium also vowed to
deal with those engaged in smuggling of food stuffs, particularly rice.
