Obasanjo, IBB Can’t Show Us The Roadmap – Keyamo

Mr Festus Keyamo, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has reacted to the recent statements credited to former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former military President Ibrahim Babangida.

While appearing on Channels Television’s flagship political programme, Sunday Politics noted that both leaders cannot recommend a roadmap for Nigerians.

“These two leaders cannot show us the roadmap – because they had opportunities in the past and bungled them,” he said.

Earlier, In a statement issued on January 23, Obasanjo had criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and asked the President not to seek re-election.

On his part, Babangida had has called on President Buhari in a statement on February 4, to step down in 2019 to allow for a generational shift.

Mr Keyamo believes both statements attributed to the leaders have similar content and can be split into two parts in, saying he agrees with one part and disagrees with the other.

He stressed the need for the Federal Government to acknowledge the concerns raised in the statements which include the herdsmen attacks and economic challenges among others.

He is, however, of the opinion that the part where Nigerians should “reject the message and the messenger” is where both leaders are trying to recommend the way to go.

“Babangida spent N40billion on a transition programme to nowhere; eight years to nowhere. They have a sense of entitlement.

“These are people who have been involved in the past in selection process, military coups, and all of that; so they don’t still believe in democracy,” said Keyamo.
