Oshiomole Wants Buhari To Arrest Obasanjo

Former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, says former President Olusegun Obasanjo should be arrested if found guilty of committing any offence.

Speaking after the investiture of national honours on late MKO Abiola, at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Oshiomhole urged President Buhari not to hesitate in arresting the former president “if he has committed any offence”.

Oshiomhole, who is seeking election as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he would arrest Obasanjo if he was in President Buhari’s shoes.

“He should be arrested if he has committed any offence. He arrested many of us. So, if we are celebrating Chief Gani Fawehinmi, we have compelling reasons to do so. In all of these, we didn’t pay any money to Gani or Falana. They defended us pro bono,” Oshiomhole said.

“Gani is not here today, but his spirit is here. Falana is here and today, I am standing. Even the president who was in charge then, he is now complaining that they want to harass him. He was harassing me and he got me arrested.

“He thought he himself would not be arrested? If I were the president I would arrest him. We are all Nigerians. I remember one day I told him, I said ‘President Obasanjo, we made you president. You did not make me a Nigerian.

“’You are our creation; I am not your creation. You must listen’. But he thought he would be in power forever and he tried to take us on the way to Zimbabwe.

“He was a reluctant Head of State, became president for two terms and he wanted to do a third term because a cockroach licking palm oil would never lick enough.”
