A legal practitioner Liborous Oshomah has accused the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo of imposing a government on Nigerians, stating that till date “Nigerians have not recovered from all the misgiving”.
Mr. Oshomah was reacting to a letter reportedly written by the former president to President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said that Nigerian leaders should come before Nigerians and apologise for all of the problems.
Speaking on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr. Oshomah said that the issues raised were still topics for discussion but not new to the present government.
“These are issues that have been on ground even before 1999. These are the issues that were raised during Obasanjo’s regime and he called us names,” he said.
Mr. Oshomah emphasised the need to be focused on the issues disturbing the country, by pushing aside all complaints and look for new leaders that would address those issues.
He added that the letter was “a way of diverting the attention of Nigerians to a certain ruling class that they are the messiah to come. This is just the foundation and there are more to come”.
He advised Nigerians to learn how to empower themselves by finding a way of reducing the issues, because the issues have lingered for a long time. “If we say these problem were created by these ruling class should we still continue to contain these ruling class?” he questioned.
