What is the difference between Obasanjo�s
national election of April 19, 2003 and that of Ibrahim Babangida�s June 12, 1993? Don�t know, because there wasn�t.
Well, Babangida�s election of June 12, 1993 is a façade. Obasanjo�s election of April 19, 2003 is a charade.
No difference. Just like there is no difference between the two accidental and self proclaimed evil generals. Babangida
imposed him self on Nigerians for 8 years plus. Obasanjo is imposing him self on Nigerians 8 years plus. Both are
dictators. Both employed the same method to sit tight on power. Both created mafia around themselves. Both men
fed fat on and sustained corruption. Both men bribed and corrupted the army to remain V.I.P of waste. Babangida
made sure Obasanjo got into Aso Rock to shelter him of all his corruption, fraud and crimes. Obasanjo is about
to reciprocate same to have Babangida succeed him to shelter him from all his atrocities, corruption and illegalities.
During the Babangida�s misrule, all kinds of words with acronym criminal in nature, manifested in Nigeria. To name
a few, there was SAP and 419. While Babangida was ripping off the country, he introduced SAP to create artificial
scarcity. His name is in all foreign banks and properties. Artificial scarcity breeds poverty. Poverty breeds corruption
and fraud. There was a little minus for Babangida, his children were small while he was in power so his wife filled
the void. They were not old enough to replicate the Abachas and the Gbenga Obasanjos. Babangida annulled the presidential
election that would have ushered in the late chief MKO Abiola as president in 1993.

now named after an association introduced by Babangida��419� 2003. Had he not employed all these illegal means,
if he had lost, he would have annulled the election. Even though he fraudulently returned himself to power, there
is no doubt Obasanjo and Babangida are the most despised and hated Nigerians today. Both arrogated to themselves
the knowledge and solution of all Nigerians problems. Both claimed superior knowledge than all Nigerians, even
though none of them has ever seen the 4 walls of university education. Both are captives of prepared speech texts,
the contents they could not comprehend before reading. Under the administration of the two men, assassinations
of opponents critical of their dictatorial rule were endemic. Both men brood no oppositions.
The cover up and protection of Babangida: There is nowhere Obasanjo�s protection and cover of Babangida was more
glaring than the Oputa panel and Okigbo report. It is obvious that Obasanjo has no good intentions for Nigeria
and Nigerians other than his personal interest. He does not mean well for Nigerians. All his scheming is to hand
over Nigeria back to Babangida, to cover up his corruption, fraud and crimes. That Okigbo report was sometimes
missing from the presidency was flying a kite or a decoy to taste Nigerians reactions. The level of reactions satisfied
him, as there was no follow up on the issue. As he was satisfied that there was no further reactions from Nigerians
on the missing report, he has been boosted to repudiate the Oputa panel report as his Attorney-general looked Nigerians
in the face and said that Obasanjo will not make the Oputa report public to Nigerians. The so-called EFCC report
about concluding plans to prosecute seven governors for corruption is all part of Obasanjo�s plot to destroy all
the governors who are pro-Ogbeh or Atiku and render them politically irrelevant by 2007. It is nothing but a trade
off on those governors that would stop him from easy hand over to Babangida in 2007. The plot to remove Ogbeh is
all about handing over to Babangida the presidency in the year 2007. He knows Ogbeh is not disposed to his plan
for Babangida. The participation of governor Kure of Niger State among the anti-Ogbeh camp calling for his resignation
is all about Bbangida and 2007. If EFCC is going to prosecute seven or more governors for corruption, they should
start with Alhaji Abdulahi Adamu of Nassarawa State, Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu State, Mohamed Markfi of Kaduna
State and Peter Odili of Rivers State then Nigerians will take EFCC serious. What has EFCC done with the celebrated
corruption of Prince Audu well after he has become ex-governor of Kogi State? By the way, what happened to ICPC
and the several publications of probing or investigating 13 governors?
Though both EFCC and ICPC are set up for the same result, to blackmail the political opponents. Why has that hypocrite
called senator Idris Kuta suddenly began to advocate the repudiation of immunity clause? To enable them (Babangida�s
stooges) have free reign to rope all those governors that would be a stumbling block towards awarding the president
to Babangida come 2007. If EFCC is looking to prosecute corrupt Nigerians, it should tell Nigerians what it has
done about the news from the World Bank chairman that Nigerians have $170 billion deposit in foreign banks.
It was reported by the British authority that 56% of corruption in Nigeria is from the presidency. Why were the
governors not investigated and prosecuted prior to the charade of 2003? Has the EFCC ever looked how much of Nigeria�s
tilt Obasanjo is taking with him on his unnecessary and numerous shuttles around the world? Why is it that these
fakes called EFCC and ICPC set up to hound and blackmail Obasanjo�s critics usually begin investigation of people
when Obasanjo is caught up in the web of his illegalities and lies? Ogbeh is being investigated after his letter
to Obasanjo. Some seven or more governors are going to be prosecuted even though these fakes know they are under
immunity clause.
Obasanjo lies to Nigerians. According to his town criers, Obasanjo means well to Nigerians as long as he continues
�oilification� of their pockets, even when he illegally imposed himself on Nigerians. He deploys the army, the
police and SSS to harass and intimidate Nigerians. He deploys the EFCC and ICPC to intimidate and blackmail Nigerians.
He does not care whether Nigeria and Nigerians are on fire. He will still jet out of Nigeria for fear of military
coup. That bulge is a big time coward. Nigerians of Christian faith and non-Moslems are killed in the Moslem north
in thousands, but the words �State of emergency� has never been mentioned. Until a man who could have qualified
for an armed robber called Chris Uba ( if it hadn�t been the loot of Anambra State treasury dated from the military
administrations of the State by the tribes that never meant well for the igbos) exposed his greediness and robbery
in him.
Unfortunately, Christian State is the first to fall victim of Obasanjo�s effort to appease the Moslem north, his
feudal masters, in the name of SOE. While sharia has made life unbearable for the Christians living and working
in the sharia north, Obasnjo has been looking the other way as hoodlums in those area, are terrorizing and maiming
innocent Christians, their churches and their properties. Perhaps his tugs in the presidency smuggles out his dictionary
that contains the state of emergency if the north is boiling only to put it in his face when the issue is involving
a Christian State. Why did it take Obasanjo and the court a monumental catastrophe in Anambra State to restore
Dr. Chris Ngige�s police protection? Why did the court wait for such a criminal catastrophe to give judgment in
a 14- month case? Why did the former State police commissioner Mr. Iroham transferred to the police administration
for doing his police duty of standing up for injustice? Why did the Edo State police commissioner Mr. Acholonu
transferred to police administration due to robbers rampaging in Benin, but Anambra State police commissioner Mr.
Ogbaudu was not even queried for providing cover and protection of criminals that destroyed Anambra State government
structures and private properties as well as lives?
The police IG Alhaji Balogun wanted the police not to be funded by federal government alone. Alhaji, the police
under you are for the federal government only, and as such it should fund it alone until such a time when Nigerians
will get a police that will serve Nigerians and the nation.
The recent revelation on Anambra State electoral fraud by Obasanjo due to his irascibility depicts of a serial
killer who knows that the game is up and decided to turn himself in to the police. The protection and the retinue
of police assigned to Chris Uba are exemplified by Obasanjo�s igbophobia. His disdain for the igbos is amplified
by his choice of Chris Uba, Emeka Offor, Ojo Maduekwe, Arthur Nzeribe and Adolphus Wabara and Ogulafor as those
igbos he uses to destroy Ndigbo. What makes Obasanjo a liar is that he convinces himself that his lies are true
even before he tells them to the public.
THE CALL FOR STATE EMERGENCY IN ANAMBRA STATE: The Arthur Nzeribe led group of senators and political rouges of
igbo decent, who are bent on declaration of state of emergency in Anambra State is borne out greed and corruption.
If Obasanjo declares state of emergency in Anambra State, he will appoint one of his political tugs that will award
Chris Uba contracts so he can recoup the money given to him in rigging the election in Anambra State. What they
could not get from Ngige, the appointed administrator will obviously open the state treasury for them.
Obasanjo is accusing Ngige of reneging on the fraudulent contract he signed or entered with Chris Uba and wants
him resign. What a monumental hypocrisy! Ladies and gentlemen, did Obasanjo not sign or entered into contract with
the north? Did he not renege on the contract? This man is perhaps on the early stage of schizophrenia. Since he
controls the military and the police, and deploys them at will to intimidate his critics and opponents, he will
not hastate to intimidate all the governors who refused to kiss his tribal ass. Nigerians have been hard on the
northerners for the ruin of Nigeria and her public and private institutions, but Obasanjo has been a total disgrace
to the Yorubas, the south and Christianity. It is not an over statement to say that he is mentally, morally and
psychological deficient to be a president in a young democracy having spent 4 long years in jail. More over, when
he was intellectually and socially challenged. If he has any honor in him, he would have resigned honorably, though
nothing in Nigeria�s history shows that corruption, fraud and illegality of Nigerian officials are ground for voluntary
resignation.
