Bafarawa said that if the President Goodluck Jonathan administration
wants to be taken seriously, it should pull in the former president for
questioning over his stewardship for the eight years he was at the helm
of affairs in this country.
In an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP SUNDAY, Alhaji Bafarawa,
who governed Sokoto state on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples
Party (ANPP), said, “He was the one who brought the problem that
retarded the growth of democracy in Nigeria. Whatever problem we have in
this country, most especially from 1999 to date, it was brought by
former President Obasanjo.”
Bafarawa traced the root of most of the problems the former president
bequeathed the country to his inability to actualize his third term
project.
He stated: ‘Because of his personal ambition which was not fulfilled,
he brought the problem of forcing leaders against the people’s wish.
The bulk of the problem of leadership in this country was brought by
him. He brought indiscipline in the running of the affairs of the
political parties. Obasanjo turned things upside down in the political
parties by bringing military attitude into the party system.
‘The party leadership had to be chosen by him and that also goes to
the governors. Whoever becomes the governor has to produce his own party
chairman; the president has to have his own national chairman.

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s claim that a revolution is
imminent in the country is still receiving flaks, as former governor of
Sokoto State, Alhaji Dalhatu Attahiru Bafarawa, has asked the
authorities to invite the former president for questioning Obasanjo, was
the mastermind behind the myriads of problems the polity is witnessing.
