ABEOKUTA, Ogun, Nigeria – Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has raised the alarm, alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari is planning to frame him up and send him to jail. Obasanjo has been the most potent critic of Buhari. He had on several occaision said that Buhari has failed and called on him to resign and provide advice from the sideline.
But in a statement, Obasanjo noted that security agencies are plotting to arrest and put him in detention. Obasanjo who spoke via a statement signed by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, said the present administration wants to blackmail him into abandoning his divine mandate to protect the rights of Nigerians to a better life.
“Since Chief Olusegun Obasanjo declared in his State-of-the-Nation special statement on January 23, 2018, the desperation to frustrate, intimidate and blackmail him into abandoning his divine mandate to protect the rights of the people to better life and living continued unabated and has even taken a bizarre dimension.
“Impeccable security sources have alleged Chief Obasanjo’s name is on their Watch List and that the security of his life cannot be guaranteed.
“According to these informants, many of who are in the top echelon of the nation’s security management and close to the corridors of power, the operatives are daily perfecting how to curtail the personal liberties of the former President and hang a crime on him”, the statement said.
