Former Kano state governor and ex Education minister under Jonathan's
administration, Ibrahim Shekarau has criticized Pres. Buhari's closeness
to former president Olusegun Obasanjo. According to Shekarau,
Buhari
had previously stated that he came into government to correct the wrongs
created by PDP in the last 16 years but is now moving around and
associating with those who ruled Nigeria in the last 16 years.
"Buhari has said that he has come to right the wrongs of 16-year mess by
the PDP. So, I said ‘Mr. President you are welcome, but be reminded
that 10 of those 16 years belong to ex-President Obasanjo.
He had his eight years and by indirect remote
control, two years of late President Umaru Yar’Adua was Obasanjo’s. And
Obasanjo was the one who produced Yar’Adua and Jonathan. Until three
years ago when they fell out (Obasanjo and Jonathan), Obasanjo was in
charge. Obasanjo today belongs to those who are chief advisers to
President Muhammadu Buhari. Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasiru
El-Rufai, was one of the major hit men of Obasanjo, my former governor,
Rabiu Kwankwaso, was one of the boys of Obasanjo as well as former
Governors Bukola Saraki, Goje and all the rest of them. They were part
of those 16 years which President Buhari was saying that PDP messed up
Nigeria, and today because they are APC, they are saints. They are now
surrounding the President as his chief advisers. The Amaechis are all
part of the PDP. All the election crisis that President Buhari was
accusing PDP of perpetrating were a creation of these people, the same
who are with him now. So what sense does it make that I said you are
thief for 16 years, I have come to correct the wrongs that you did and
now I am calling you the chief adviser in order to right the wrongs that
you committed. Does it make sense? We are waiting to see how they will
come out of this.”he said
