The African Democratic Congress (ADC), new political party which was adopted by former president Olusegun Obasanjo, has warned the Buhari-led Federal Government that it will shut down the Aso Rock Villa if Obasanjo is harmed.
The sudden threat is coming few weeks after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, lauched an investigaation into the fraudulent $16bn power project carried out during Obasanjo’s administration.
Speaking in an interview with Punch on Friday, the Chairman of the party, Chief Okey Nwosu, said having failed to deliver on its campaign promises, the Buhari-led government had resorted to hounding opposition members into submission.
He said: “What we are witnessing is the desperation of a failed government. When you have mediocre persons that are not focused on handling state power, they often go to dictatorial levels to try to achieve their aim but this time, the people of Nigeria and God are on our side and we will do what our country needs. President Obasanjo cannot be touched. When in 2014 and 2015, he was in the vanguard of trying to effect change because of the situation then, they were applauding him as the champion of a new Nigeria“.
