Former  President, Olusegun Obasanjo has again lashed out at the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as incompetent, ineffective and non-performing.

Speaking at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta on Monday while receiving a joint delegation of Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF) and New Nigeria 2019, Obasanjo urged Nigerians to ignore the reforms promised by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the recent apology tendered by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Obasanjo said: “What those I call power addicts would want to do is to divide you based on gender, age, tribe, religion and region. You have one commonality; the interest of Nigeria and it doesn’t matter where you are from. We had that interest.

“The truth is this; when you have an ineffective and incompetent government, we are all victims. And don’t let anyone deceive you. Those of you who are in business, your businesses could have been better today if we have a competent and effective and performing government.

“As I said, stop giving excuse, we met challenges. If there are no challenges, then we wouldn’t need you to come. You came in because you know there are challenges and then giving us excuses that you have many challenges,that is why you haven’t achieved results. And you still want to go for a second term.

“The first lesson I learned in my military training is to never reinforce failure. What we have now is failure. Never reinforce failure; let failure be failure. And if you do not see what you should see, you would then be a victim of what you don’t like because it’s only when you see what you should see and you do what you should do that you put away what you do not like.

He added: “This time for us to make it, we need all hands on deck. You see, I have publicly said it and I mean it, that as a party, neither PDP nor APC can get us there as they have  been. Never mind reforms and apology and all that.”
