Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused former president
Olusegun Obasanjo of ceding Bakassi to Cameroon for selfish reasons.
The former Edo governor said
Obasanjo had his sight set on winning the Nobel peace prize, hence the decision
to “hand over” the former part of Nigeria to its West African neighbour.
Oshiomhole said history will
punish the former president for his action.
He made the remark on Wednesday
while speaking at the APC presidential campaign rally in Calabar, Cross River.
Addressing the crowd, he said,
“never forget Obasanjo because he handed over Nigeria to Cameroon because he
wanted to win the Nobel peace prize.
“Nigeria can never forgive him.
History will punish him if we are too weak to punish him.
“He separated fathers from
mothers, brothers from sisters. The Nobel Peace Prize is not given to
traitors”.
Ahead of the general election,
Oshiomhole, a former president of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has been
increasingly critical of Obasanjo.
In December 2018, he said the
former president is at risk of God’s punishment for supporting the presidential
ambition of Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Oshiomhole had said God “will go
to work in February and he will punish him thoroughly and the person he is
supporting”.
Commenting on his decision to
support Atiku’s bid for the presidency, Obasanjo recently said although he is
not perfect, he is “two times better” than President Muhammadu Buhari,
candidate of the APC.
