Obasanjo, We Made You President. You Did Not Make Me A Nigerian. You Are Our Creation; I Am Not Your Creation. You Must Listen- Adams Oshiomhole
Former Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole, while speaking at the June 12th investiture that held at the state house Abuja yesterday said former President Olusegun Obasanjo is nobody without Nigerians, stressing that he had committed any offence he should be arrested, just like he arested him when in power.
“He should be arrested if he has committed any offence. He arrested many of us. So, if we are celebrating Chief Gani Fawehinmi, we have compelling reasons to do so. In all of these, we didn’t pay any money to Gani or Falana. They defended us pro bono. Gani is not here today, but his spirit is here. Falana is here and today, I am standing. Even the president who was in charge then, he is now complaining that they want to harass him. He was harassing me and he got me arrested. He thought he himself would not be arrested? If I were the president I would arrest him. We are all Nigerians. I remember one day I told him, I said ‘President Obasanjo, we made you president. You did not make me a Nigerian. You are our creation; I am not your creation. You must listen’. But he thought he would be in power forever and he tried to take us on the way to Zimbabwe. He was a reluctant Head of State, became president for two terms and he wanted to do a third term because a cockroach licking palm oil would never lick enough”.
