Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says if Buhari does not trust people from other parts of the country to give them important jobs, he should not seek their votes in the upcoming election.
Obasanjo in yet another blistering attack on President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling APC administration, says, “The person who is our leader now is saying he cannot allow another ethnic group to work with him because he cannot trust them.
“If he cannot trust my tribe or your tribe, of what benefit is he? And he is saying my tribe and yours should come and vote for him.
“He can ask for our votes, but he cannot trust us to work in good positions. Life is give and take. If you cannot trust me, why should I trust you?
“If you put me in a position and I misbehave, why not remove me and put others? But those you are putting in positions are your tribesmen and kinsmen because they are the people you can trust.”
Obasanjo, who was speaking in a BBC Yoruba programme, said that leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress will be thrown into hellfire if their records are exposed and examined.
Obasanjo said, “If we are talking about sin, the people that are there now, if we examine them, they will all enter hellfire.
“They will not just be jailed, they will enter hellfire. Whoever God covers his sin, the person’s secrets are also protected.”
Obasanjo has thrown his weight behind his former vice president whom he says will make a better leader for Nigeria at a time like this.
“I did not say if Atiku (Abubakar) gets there he will behave like Jesus or Mohammed, but he will do better than what we are seeing now,” Obasanjo said.
