Nigeria under Jonathan has descended into anarchy – Buhari

A former Head of State, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, has joined other prominent Nigerians in reacting to the letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Buhari, in a statement over the weekend, said there is no denying the fact that the country has descended into anarchy under the Jonathan government, the same accusation levelled by Obasanjo.
He said he was therefore not surprised by the letter by Obasanjo.
Buhari said: “The Obasanjo letter did not come as any surprise to us.
“No right thinking Nigerian will choose to ignore the appalling descent to anarchy that Nigeria is experiencing under this government.”
Buhari, however, also slammed Obasanjo for being a part of the Peoples Democratic Party government that has been oppressing Nigerians since the return to democratic rule.
He therefore said that while Nigerians need to force the government of the day to answer to the allegations raised by Obasanjo, there is also the need to question the messenger and condemn both Obasanjo and Jonathan for their crimes against the people.
Buhari said the destiny of Nigeria is in the hands of its 170 million people, adding that no one, group, religion, political party or tribe can hold the country to ransom.
He said further in the statement: “The good people of this country are equally oppressed by the PDP regimes of both Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan. Therefore, while we have the right to demand accountability for the pertinent issues raised in the said letter, we also have the moral responsibility to question the sincerity of the messenger, and to condemn and reject the duo (Obasanjo and Jonathan) for their crimes against the good people of this country.
“The destiny of Nigeria is the destiny of 170 million of us. No single individual, no single tribe, religion, political party or region can usurp this destiny for its selfish whim. Our strength and unity is national, not regional. There are attempts by the PDP to undermine this hard-earned national unity, we must guard against such manipulations with utmost vigilance.”
