Prince Tony Momoh, a former Minister of Information, came down hard on Obasanjo, describing him as a loser and national nuisance who is abusing freedom of expression.
Momoh, one of the national leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), also said Obasanjo’s recent outburst that President Buhari is behaving like the late head of state, Sani Abacha, and plotting to rig the forthcoming presidential election is exaggerated.
“Looking at Obasanjo, my own take is that he has established himself as the most present former head of state in the history of Nigeria. He is present and vocal in every regime.
“He was present during Shagari’s time, he was present during Buhari’s first coming between 1984 and 1985, he was present during Babangida’s era between 1985 and 1993, he was present during Abacha’s time from 1993 to 1998, he was present during Abdulsalami Abubakar’s time, he was present during his own regime when he worked with Atiku Abubakar, whom he said can never be anything but has now come to be his agent.
“He was present during Umaru Yar’Adua’s time, he was present during Jonathan’s time and he is also present now. So, there is no time he has not shown his presence at any regime and God has given him good health for him to be able to be active”. But looking at his records, he has shown to the average person that he is a loser and unfortunate nuisance. Obasanjo is national nuisance.
“To him, there is no other person apart from Obasanjo. He is very active but wants to continue to be in power when he is no longer in power”, he said.
