Elder statesman, Balarabe Musa has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of laying the foundation for impunity in Nigeria.
The former Kaduna state governor said Obasanjo used instruments of state to harass the opposition.
Musa was reacting to the former president’s state of the nation press conference on Sunday.
He told The Nation: “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.”
