OBASANJO TIRED OF PROFFERING SOLUTIONS TO NATIONS PROBLEM

Olusegun Obansanjo

FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo says he has nothing else to say about the problems facing the nation, regretting that he had been abused in some quarters, each time he proffers solution to the country’s problems. The former President, who spoke to newsmen shortly after he paid a courtesy visit on Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State in Benin, explained that he was in Benin to honour the late former chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Dr. Abel Guobadia, whom according to him, contributed immensely to the growth of democracy in the country.

Obasanjo, who was asked to comment on the problems of corruption and insecurity facing the nation, said: “I have flogged the issue of corruption internally and externally. I have flogged it every day, some people go along with me, and they agree that it is a problem that we must face squarely. Some people abuse me.
“But the point is that when you have a problem and you attempt to cover it, you are not solving the problem, rather, you are complicating the problem. Even the problem of security, I have been discussing it. I have gone on a fact finding mission. I have found out what is there and what is not there. I had talked, and talked. I have nothing more to add.”
