Buhari has no choice than to probe Obasanjo — Senator Waku

– Senator Joseph Waku commended the current administration for bringing “sanity of governance” and called on Nigerians to pray for the president

– He described Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime as the most corrupt and urged Muhammadu Buhari to probe the ex-president

– According to Waku, Goodluck Jonathan was a lazy president who took things for granted

“He must probe Obasanjo’s regime, he has no choice.”

Senator Joseph Kennedy N Waku, an unrepentant critic of Olusegun Obasanjo, has called on Muhammadu Buhari to probe the former president.

In a recent interview granted to Vanguard, Waku has given his independent assessment of the Buhari administration and its war against corruption.

“Nigeria is lucky to have Buhari as a president. I cannot claim that he is one hundred percent right. He is not, but Buhari came into government at a time Nigeria needed somebody like him. The fact that you are aware today that an individual was given N2.5 billion to N2.6 billion to offer prayers for some persons to remain in office alone has established and brought sanity to this country.

“The ongoing hardship is not caused by him; the hardship has been caused by previous leaders. He just inherited it. What has been destroyed for 16 years cannot be done in one year. The exposure that Nigerians now know how their monies were stolen by the previous administration alone, is a developmental index and progression. It instils fear into Nigerians that ‘if I get into this office, let me be careful,” hesaid.

Waku commended the current administration for bringing “sanity of governance” and called on Nigerians to pray for the president who is fighting corruption.

“The Buhari administration has brought us sanity of governance. Although there are still hardened criminals in offices but it is no longer business as usual. Therefore, I think Nigerians should pray for him because when you are fighting corruption, corruption fights back. So, what Buhari needs from you and I and many Nigerians is prayers, so that we get out from this mess,” he said.

Speaking about Buhari’s predecessor, Waku said:

“Goodluck Jonathan was just a lazy president. Because he took things for granted, he was not in charge of the affairs of the country as president. And because of that, people took his kindliness for granted and that was why there was this problem.”

The senator described Obasanjo’s regime as the most corrupt and stressed that the ongoing war against corruption must be extended to him.

“Buhari has no choice if he wants Nigerians to have confidence in his fight against corrupt practices. He must probe Obasanjo’s regime, he has no choice. He has no choice than to probe Obasanjo’s regime, otherwise, probing Goodluck alone will look like witch-hunting,” he noted.
