Obi reacts to Obasanjo's letter, Atiku's visit to America

- The convener of Centre for Civil Society and Justice, Prince Goodluck Obi, has reacted to the ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo's letter

- The CCSJ convener alleged that the letter was an attempt to distract the president from his ongoing anti-corruption movement

- Obi also commend President Muhammadu Buhari over the appointment of the new police IG, Adamu Abubakar

The convener of Centre for Civil Society and Justice (CCSJ), Prince Goodluck Obi, has attacked the former president of the country, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, over his letter in which he likened President Buhari's era with that of late Sani Abacha.

Reacting to the former president, Obi, who is also the coordinator of Re-elect Buhari Movement (RBM), said Obasanjo's letter was an attempt to distract the president from his ongoing anti-corruption movement, The Independent reports.

Obi, who also justified the appointment of acting police inspector, Adamu Abubakar, commended the immediate IGP, Idris Ibrahim, for the service to the force and the country, adding that he left when the ovation was louder.

He said: ''Ibrahim, like Shakespeare said, left when the ovation was loudest. He came, he saw, he conquered. I wish to commend President Buhari for the opportunity given to Idris to serve as the IGP, which he meritoriously did for over two years as IGP.''

Reacting to the letter of the former president, Obi chided Obasanjo for describing the president with ''unprintable words,'' adding that the former president's era was known for nothing ''except for the growth of embezzlement, squandermania, misapplication and misappropriation of funds.''

He said: ''I listened to former president Obasanjo when he said all those unprintable words against President Buhari, but, my take is that Obasanjo had the opportunity of ruling Nigeria for eight years.

''All the bad names he is calling President Buhari now is to shift his focus from the fight against corruption. But, he cannot succeed. For the Nigerian electorate, shine your eyes and vote for a president who will wipe away corruption.''

The RBM coordinator also laughed off the visit of Atiku Abubakr, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to America.

According to him, Atiku's brief visit to America ''was not a big deal,'' adding that: ''I was in US in January, February and March in 2019. I did not announce it. It was not in the news. What is new is that now Atiku is back, does he have the political muscle to challenge President Buhari, who is a mass-oriented politician of all times.''

Obi also reacted to the on going trial of the chief justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen over alleged non declaration of assets as required by the law.

According to him, the trail of the CJN is justifiable because "what is good for the geese is for the gander."

He said: "First, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. The Buhari administration does not believe in respecting anybody who goes foul of the law.

''If this premise as per Buhari administration is anything to go by, I do not have any reason not to support the trial of the CJN. If has erred, he will also be tried. What goes for a poor man, goes for a rich man.''
