Political Intolerance In Nigeria.Chapter 7,page 8.

"Look at the following question and stop then go back to bakare"
"He said Obasanjo cannot fight corruption and that he was lying."Then he reads:'Question:This dovetails into the issue of corruption that Obasanjo is fighting today.....
Answer:He is not serious.Obasanjo cannot fight corruption.(Points at a picture.) That's me in the picture, black maria for wristwatch and coffee.(laughs) Corruption became a state police after Buhari and shehu Musa said it Very well:'In Nigeria it is not that officials are corrupt but that corruption is official..."
"Wait, Soyinka said if we don't kill corruption corruption will kill us.
"...'(laughs).I was in doddan baracks when the okigbo report was submitted over 100 copies.Later Obasanjo said they were lost...'
"Habba!A full 100 copies!"
"...'All of them lost!!! Obasanjo cannot do anything, because Babangida financed his election.General Danjuma was the one who said he would play the Andrew go on exile if Obasanjo was not elected.Danjuma bailed out saying 'I cannot work with you .The government is run by a clique like a cult'.No Obasanjo cannot fight corruption..."
'So you see he was right he achieved zero rating while in office.Besides debt relief,GSM mobile what did obj do"
"So in the case of bakare was another thing .Quite unfair for bakare to say if PDP rigged election there will be wild wild North not wild wild west this time around.That statement was also inflammatory for the grievous electoral deaths of year 2011 .Be that as it may he was right Buhari was good in handling resources but his return as civilian president failed woefully.Corruption had grown extremely complex and the transparency of the seventies and eighties was certainly the corruption of the 21 st century Nigeria."
"You see that is the factor.So when people in government are not tolerant in the public election campaign there is empirical evidence that the ulterior motives is to siphon public resources when you get elected.If Buhari most transparent leader in Nigeria could fail as civilian president then it means democracy will not work for Nigeria.Obasanjo has said similar things and he says we should call different names but certainly democracy will not work for Nigeria."
