They are lucky Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not a Nigerian and does not have the platform to preach his fiery messages there. Now, he would have slammed Obasanjo and his daughter, Iyabo with his GDA: ‘God dam America’ stinger. I am just trying to figure out the right clause Wright would have thrown at of Obasanjo and daughter, who are being called upon to account for the expenditure various sums of money by bodies they supervised.
Obasanjo is to account for how his administration used $16 billion for the improvement of the power sector between 1999 and 2007, while his daughter, a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to explain what she knows about the use of £1.2 billion by the ministry of health.
This is when Wright would have fired the now infamous ‘The chickens are coming home to roost’, or God’am Nigeria-GDN, for shot, if he were to examine what the father and daughter are passing through in Nigeria.
Surprisingly, ‘baba’ has refused to appear before the Ndudi Elumelu-led committee, saying he is indisposed.
Her daughter has also spurned entreaties to appear before the EFCC to clarify issues over the unspent health ministry budget over which two ministers were forced to resign.
She rather wants the anti-graft body to be called to order, saying that she was being unduly haunted. Well, that is a matter for the court to decide.
But, whether Obasanjo and her daughter eventually appear at the court of public opinion, it is all too good to see the two who were above the law a few months ago, being called to account for their actions while they are still alive. It is unbelievable how some 'gods' are being demystified . Isn’t it?
