The former Nigeria's President Olusegun Obasanjo was reported to have launched his own political foundation in London over the weekend that will promote democracy, good government and development in Africa. This guy is the biggest political clown and joker that I know today in Africa. This was a man that did not believe in the democratic principles and the rule of law. This was a man who institutionalized electoral frauds, political exclusion and political persecution of his perceived political opponents. This was a man who started the politics of "Do or Die in Nigeria".
This was a man who violated the various court orders. This was a man who corrupted the NASS with his "Ghana must go bags". This was a guy who used the EFCC for the selective official corruption trials. This was a man that attempted to change the Nigeria's constitution to enable him to have a shot for the 3rd term at the presidency of Nigeria. This was a man that put the entire oil industry in Nigeria under his direct control from 1999 to 2006.
This was a man who entered the Aso Rock villa financially broke in 1999 and then left in 2007 owing a mansion, a presidential library, a private high school, millions of shares in the major corporations in Nigeria. Africa is truly in a big trouble with this type of shady individual as a role model of what an elder stateman should be in all reality. Olusegun Obasanjo is never in the same class as the former South Africa President Nelson Mandela or the former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan of Ghana.
