Obasanjo should be investigated and sent to jail if found guilty of any offence - Oshiomole_____Eazygisthub

Former Edo state governor and a top contender for the office of the national chairman of the All Arogressive Congress(APC) Comrade Adams Oshiomole has said that Former President Olusegun Obasanjo should be arrested and sent to jail if found guilty of any offence.

He also added that when Obasanjo was in power he also arrested and detained people thinking he would be president forever.

Oshiomole spoke in a Pre-june 12 event he organised in honour of late Chief Gani Fawehinmi SAN and acclaimed winner of the June 12 1993 Presidential Election, Bashorun MKO Abiola, The Nation reports.

Meanwhile, the former Governor of Edo state dismissed reports credited to ex-President Obasanjo that Presdident Buhari wanted to frame and arrest him.

He 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(2) terms and he wanted to do a third(3) term because a cockroach licking palm oil would never lick enough.

"I remember when i was accused by former president Obasanjo of behaving as if i was an alternate president that i was running the NLC like a parallel government that i wanted to overthrow is government. A small man like me, completely powerless.

"If i am dark like this, it is because of Obansanjo's teargas. when i now hear these same people saying they are trying to arrest them, why shouldn't they be arrested? He should be arrested and if he has committed any offense. He arrested many of us.

"So if we are celebrating Chief Gani Fawehinmi we have compelling reason to do so. In all of these, we didn't pay any money to Gani or Falana, They defended us pro bono.

"The late Abiola would be smiling not just for the honour done him by the president but that Frank Kokori who was very young then deployed the instrumentality of oil workers to support the Progressive mission of the civil society.

"It is not the position you occupy, but the role that you play that will define your place in history. this man was never an NLC president but he is the only unionist invited to the investiture.

"So, we just concluded among ourselves. Few of us who benefited from Gani's leadership by using the instrument of the law to confront evil leaders. At the NLC, we were so efficient at causing troubles, But too poor to procure the services of legal titans like Gani and felana, but who would always come and defend us pro bono. So, we felt that on the eve of his investiture, we should gather and celebrate him.

"On june 12, the late Abacha asked us to tell Abiola to do a national broadcast to renounce his mandate. Pascal Bafyau advised him to take the bail conditions because he got information that the regime was ready to keep him in jail indefinitely, but Abiola said he wouldn't mind dying, that if you are already in the river you can no longer complain of being wet.

"Abiola died, but Abacha also died and today Abiola's children can go anywhere and say i am Abiola. but i am not sure of other persons.
