According to reports from Sahara Reporters, former president Olusegun Obasanjo secretly met with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock villa to discuss national issues, one of which was an advise to not shy away from jailing the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan on the grounds of corruption.
The ongoing clampdown on corrupt officials in the Goodluck Jonathan-led administration is yielding more drama than anticipated. Former president Goodluck Jonathan held a closed door.
meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night over fears of being singled out for corrupt practices in Nigeria.
According to SaharaReporters, their sources have stated that it was learnt that former President Jonathan was at the Presidential Villa to check Mr. Buhari’s temperament regarding the growing probe of the different sectors of the former president's administration.
A source familiar with the meeting which didn't last more than 30 minutes told the online portal that Mr. Jonathan appeared jittery at the meeting and was unable to articulate the case against probing his government. Instead, the former president reportedly asked mundane questions about how Buhari was coping with governing the country and offered to help in any way.
Meanwhile, former President Olusegun Obasanjo was so incensed on hearing about Buhari’s meeting with Jonathan that he called at the Presidential Villa 24 hours later to meet with Mr. Buhari behind closed doors.
A source at the Presidency revealed that Mr. Obasanjo, (whose record of corruption as president was equally monumental) urged Mr. Buhari to send former President Jonathan to jail.
Another source stated that Mr. Obasanjo volunteered to use his international contacts to help trace the funds stolen during Mr. Jonathan’s administration, adding that much of the funds were laundered through arms deals as well as shady oil sales and swaps.
It should be noted the Obasanjo and President Buhari and are yet to offer an official press statement on the details of their meeting as the agenda were strictly kept discreet.

DeleteOn a serious note eh, Jona was very careless in his governance o. HE WAS CARELESS AND CAREFREE. that's a truth
I agree that OBJ should mind his business. But when GEJ was busy chopping and shiaring the money, he didn't hersperted this! Lol...
DeleteEvery financial crisis the county dey face now na bcos GEJ dey chop money. And d guy just dey form reviving train station dey use am kolobi our money.
Rat wey dey chop our leg, dey blow breeze take cool am!
Well,I take anything from Sahara reporters with a pinch of salt...

DeleteSee OBJ abeg , imagine someone that couldn't even conduct proper election is here talking. This man is something else. Someone that made us to be paying 1Naira to him in every recharge is talking. Enforced Andy Uba on us simply because he is his boy, seized Ibeto's products and was using it to campaign in the same state he came from, such a wicked man is talking. Am just sure of one thing that he will never escape nemesis
DeleteI will always say it, most yorubas are the worst people to have as friends, they can never be trusted, see obasanjo that endorsed Jonathan now he has suddenly turned to an enemy, anyway I heard Buhari isn't taking Obasanjo serious, a typical betrayal.snake
ReplyDeleteLoool

Igbo girls have shown me shege
Buh I still have good frnds that are Igbo.
Anon u are a tribalistic fool..must u pack all yorubas together?it's people like you that's causing setback for Nigeria..mtshewww anuofia
DeleteIf Judas was Nigerian, he'd have been Yoruba! They are the king of betrayals.
DeleteMust you go tribalistic about it?
DeleteIf only you understand how Igbo can betray there own blood not to talk of friends you won't be yawning dust. Even a friend that help them in need.
DeleteAdviser Obasanjo we have heard. You also need to be probe and jailed because corruption is your middle name. See who is talking, Mtcheeew.

ReplyDeleteMost people are too fast to conclude what the meeting was all about, were you there? Is it possible for Bihari to jail Jonathan? Is anyone out of them clean? Some are even tribalistic, Yoruba this, Yoruba that. God knows what Yorubas did for you people.
DeleteDry dry dry.

ReplyDeleteSahara reporters? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteSaharaDumbReporters should wake up from their slumber and realise that ain't nobody going to jail,well not Gej. Like seriously jail? Bitch please!
Lol... Obasanjo is becoming a comedian these days.
ReplyDeleteThought he said he's done with politics, why all these advice all over the place? He should leave PMB to do his job. His time has passed. Well this is coming from Sahara reporters and shouldn't be taken seriously cos he might debunk it later.
ReplyDeleteAnon 17.05 , can you shut-up. I hope you do not live in lagos? Na ur type dey beg your Yoruba landlord when you cant pay rent. Ur type cant even rmbr way to dere village again.
ReplyDeleteYou dey mind am,Yoruba is bad, you pack yourself commot ur village come settle for Yoruba Land.
DeleteBeg yoruba landlord or yoruba landlord is begging me to stay in his house while I have built mine? we work hard never to beg, most yorubas can't be trusted , betrayals.
DeleteI just tire for all these tribalistic comments. Yoruba this, Yoruba that. We have all sorts of unpleasant traits and characters in every tribe! Why pick one tribe and label them? We are all Nigerians! How will foreigners treat us any better when we don't even love one another?
DeleteIgbos, stay in your hometowns/states if you don't like the Yorubas. It's funny to cuss out these people, yet you live and thrive in their territory.
I'm not Igbo or Yoruba but it's getting tiring to see Igbos calling out Yorubas every time on this blog! Is this what you teach your kids, to hate and slander another tribe? Disgraceful!
Rise above this pls.

ReplyDeleteSahara reporters? Mtchew... they thrive in sensationalism. Ain't taking them serious one bit
ReplyDeleteThis ugly baba shld rest abeg
ReplyDeleteNne
Obj should just keep his ugly mouth shut. Constituting himself into a nuisance. He hates GEJ so much because he didn't dance to his tune while he was president. Silly old man!
ReplyDeleteAnon 17.05 u must be dumb for making such comments!
ReplyDeleteMhen dis useless old man should find somewhere and sit down jooor, he is becoming annoying
ReplyDeleteJonathan that did not jail or witch hunt Buhari after the 2011 election, when Buhari's statement triggered post election crisis that led to the death of youth corpers and non Moslems. Jonathan had the power to lock him up like he did to Ibori but respected him as an ex head of state. During Oputa panel, IBB refused to appear b4 the panel, what did OBJ do. Probably because they are all Ex military men. No case is against jonathan as a person but against individuals under his administration. OBJ and Atiku that sold the whole country to themselves and their friends all in the name of privitization. OBJ should remain in Ota because his old age is affecting him already
ReplyDeleteTrue talk. Great memory about documented events during IBB's and OBJ's regimes. Couldn't believe IBB refused to appear before the Oputa panel.....whatever did OBJ do to him, one of the "born to rule"? What is behind this mob mentality against the first president to come from a minority group whose region, by the way, brings in the oil money to support the country? Is OBJ in the forefront of brow beating GEJ in order to deter minorities from running for the presidency or what? The hypocrisy is appalling at all levels given OBJ is one of the biggest public treasury looters in history. To ensure transparency and rule of law, OBJ and Otta farms (versus green revolution) must be probed. To do otherwise, is: goodcause4trouble
DeleteObj Jona mere gini
ReplyDeleteObj should just respect his old age and goan rest jor.
ReplyDeleteHe's the definition of corruption
Obj should respect his old age and goan rest jare
ReplyDeleteHe's the definition of corruption.
how about you dude? Are your hands clean?
ReplyDeleteBaba Obj dnt stress ursef,at dis point jst relax nd lick ur ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe Sahara Reporters one bit.
ReplyDeleteObj should leave Pa Buhari alone, telling him what to do shouldn't be regarded i.e if its true.
I KEEP SAYING IT OBASANJO IS OUR PROBLEM and Yorubas are our major problem in this nation.
When Pa Bubu made those instigating comments 2011 did GEJ jail him?
One day Pa Obj will write an open letter to Pa Bubu. One thing I like about Hausa/Fulani is they hardly take Yorubas seriously.
Here's another one. Grow up already and stop the hate!
DeleteObj you returned some funds recently to Buhari. I see the book of Esther rising..
