Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday said the ongoing revelation on budget padding in the National Assembly only confirmed
his earlier position that lawmakers are “armed robbers and rogues.”
He said the best way out of the current mess was to ensure that only men of integrity are elected into the National Assembly.
Obasanjo spoke with State House correspondents shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
President Buhari met behind closed doors with the former President.
Obasanjo, decked in a blue agbada and cap to match, arrived the Presidential Villa, Abuja for the meeting at about
12.54pm.
He was driven to the forecourt of the President’s office in a black Sports Utility Vehicle marked ABJ425 PY.
