The House of Representatives has accused former president Olusegun Obansanjo of trying to blackmail every government that he is not part of, even when it is obvious that he introduced corruption into the National Assembly during his time as president in 1999.
Members of the National Assembly pay themselves allowances for staff and offices they do not have or maintain. Once you are a member, you are co-opted and your mouth is stuffed with rottenness and corruption that you cannot opt out as you go home with not less than N15 million a month for a Senator and N10 million a month for a member of the House of Representatives. The National Assembly is a den of corruption by a gang of unarmed robbers.
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has called for the reformation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, instead of selling it off as is being proposed by the federal government.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed doubts in the ability of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to come out stronger from the current leadership crisis that is threatening to tear the party apart.
