Former Edo State governor and leading national chairmanship candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole says he would prosecute and jail former president Olusegun Obasanjo if he were President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking on Tuesday at an event to honour  the late Chief MKO Abiola and others, Oshiomhole urged Buhari to investigate and jail Obasanjo should he be found to have dipped his hands into the nation’s treasury.

His words: “He (Obasanjo) should be arrested if he has committed any offence. He arrested many of us. So, if we are celebrating Chief Gani Fawehinmi, we have compelling reasons to do so. In all of these, we didn’t pay any money to Gani or Falana. They defended us pro bono.

“Gani is not here today, but his spirit is here. Falana is here and today, I am standing. Even the president who was in charge then, he is now complaining that they want to harass him. He was harassing me and he got me arrested.

“He thought he himself would not be arrested? If I were the president I would arrest him. We are all Nigerians. I remember one day I told him, I said “President Obasanjo, we made you president. You did not make me a Nigerian”.

“’You are our creation; I am not your creation. You must listen’. But he thought he would be in power forever and he tried to take us on the way to Zimbabwe. He was a reluctant Head of State, became president for two terms and he wanted to do a third term because a cockroach licking palm oil would never lick enough.”

“The late Abiola would be smiling not just for the honour done him by the president, but that Frank Kokori who was very young then, deployed the instrumentality of oil workers to support the progressive mission of the civil society.

“It is not the position you occupy but the role that you play that will define your place in history. This man was never an NLC president but he is the only unionist invited to the investiture,” he added.
