Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has again lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari's government, describing it as full of impunity.
He spoke in Abeokuta, Ogun State, when the President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Isma'la Zakari, paid him a courtesy visit, yesterday.
Obasanjo warned that God would judge those who try to run the country aground with impunity and other forms of ungodliness.
He said, "We don't even look at ourselves and that is the unfortunate thing. We should look at ourselves and say yes, where did we go wrong and have the humility to say wherever we have gone wrong, we are ready to make amends.
"We go on with impunity as if we created ourselves and the country. My prayer is that those who try to run this country aground with impunity, we leave them in the hands of God and God in His infinite mercies knows what to do.
"We cannot go on with impunity and think that it will all be well. So, ICAN's idea of accountability index should be welcomed by all men and women of goodwill in this country."
NVS recalls that Obasanjo, while addressing a group of youths on Monday, had described the Buhari's administration as a failure.
He had also asked the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government to stop complaining about the challenges it met on the ground.
The former president advised the youth to take charge of their destiny instead of waiting for "tomorrow that may never come."
Obasanjo suggested that a coalition of all the movements in the country poaching ‘uninfected members’ of the leprous APC and PDP to join the mass coalitions, would bring about the needed change in the leadership of the country in 2019.
