Senior advocate of Nigeria and Human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, has cautioned the former President Olusegun Obasanjo to stop insulting the collective intellect and memories of Nigerian people having instituted the culture of impunity in the country.
Falana made the pronouncement in Benin while reacting to Obasanjo’s statement, which asked President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019.
The human rights activist said ‘’Obasanjo had the opportunity to be great by providing good leadership and ridding the country of corruption, instead he chose to install a regime of impunity and corruption in the country’’.
The lawyer, who admitted that Obasanjo allegations on nepotism and clannishness leveled against President Buhari were on point, said other allegations took place during Obasanjo’s administration adding that he institutionalised the culture of impunity under the democratic dispensation in Nigeria.
According to Falana “President Obasanjo is entitled to form his own political party or his own movement but he should please desist from insulting the collective intelligence and memories of Nigerians’’.
