Hehehe....Senator
Rowland Owie, has again lambasted ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo over
his perceived posture to influence the incoming administration of
President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
Reacting to a Think-tank
report submitted to Buhari by a team of technocrats put together by
Obasanjo, Owie described the document as needless.

In a statement
issued in Abuja on Sunday, Owie, who is also a former Chief Whip of the
Senate, asked: ”How can Obasanjo be preparing a blueprint for Buhari? A
Bini parable says, ‘how can an impotent man get medicine for his
brother, who suffers weak erection?'”
Expressing
disappointment at Buhari’s romance with Obasanjo, Owie said “Obasanjo
will tell the world that the solutions he prescribed for fixing Nigeria
were ignored.”
Continuing he said, “I just read that Obasanjo’s think-tank has submitted a blueprint to Buhari. Blue what?
“I
am shocked that great Nigerians of the likes of Prof. Akin Mabogunje,
Dr. Idika Kalu and Dr. Christopher Kolade were involved. That Obasanjo
is linked to the blue-print, it will be a document of blackmail to
Buhari very soon.
“Wonders will never end! How can Obasanjo who
allegedly wasted eight years in government pursuing perceived enemies,
and tried to ruin the legislative and judiciary arms of government in
Nigeria; wasted $16 billion on power and not a single kilowatt of energy
was produced, destroyed Aladja Steel, Itakpe Steel, Ajaokuta Steel,
NITEL, just to mention a few FGN parastatals, now begin to advise
Buhari?
“How
can Obasanjo, whose government received, in one year, a revenue
equivalent of the total revenue that IBB regime received in eight years,
yet, nothing to show for it, be handing over blue-print to the
in-coming administration?
“While there are great legacies left
behind by IBB, but Nigerians can’t find any useful legacies by a
government that received the highest revenue, since the amalgamation of
Nigeria.
“The legacies left behind by Obasanjo are allegedly hate,
divisiveness, Zaki- Ibiam and Odi destruction, impunity in government
business and the business of the PDP that was put together by
well-meaning people, including my humble self, when he, Obasanjo, was in
prison,” Sen. Owie said.
He
added that the present state of PDP was created by Obasanjo when the
late SB Awoniyi was rigged out in 2000 at Eagle Square and another
attempt to rebuild the party through Chief Audu Ogbeh was frustrated
when Ogbeh was forced to resign as PDP chairman.
“We thank God
that now that Obasanjo has left the PDP, we can rebuild the party. Has
Obasanjo not seen now the major achievements of Yar’Adua-Jonathan
government within a short time,”? he quipped.
The committee’s report dwelled on five key sectors- economy, security, power, education and infrastructure.
Vice
Chairman of the committee, and a former Minister of Finance, Dr. Idika
Kalu, presented the report to Buhari in Abuja, last Thursday.
Kalu
said, “We have looked at education, security, economy, power and
infrastructure. Those are the areas we have made recommendations and
which we hope the new administration will be able to work on.”
He
further explained that the president-elect was very happy that they had
been thinking about how to help him hit the ground running.
Also
speaking, Chairman of the Governing Board, Centre for Human Security of
the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Prof. Akin Mabogunje, told
newsmen that the committee had been working on a number of critical
issues for the development of the country.
On his part, Dr.
Christopher Kolade, who heads the power committee, gave various stages
of the proposed power sector development plan to include short term,
medium term and long term solutions.
Under the short term
solution, the plan seeks to raise the country’s power generation to
10,000 MW within a very short period of time.
DAILY POST recalls that Owie had in April advised Buhari to avoid Obasanjo if he desired to succeed as Nigeria’s leader.
Owie,
who spoke in Benin City, Edo State, said: “To Buhari, I thank God for
you, but you must deliver on your promises and also build on what
President Goodluck Jonathan did. Above all, you must run far from
Obasanjo.
“If he can’t control your government, he will fight you.
“He
has done it to all former Presidents of Nigeria and even against MKO
Abiola who was not sworn in. Never discuss with Obasanjo unless you have
at least two of your aides present”.
