Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has been lampooned for his response to a letter by a Niger Delta leader, Edwin Clark.belongs to the entire peopleOn Wednesday, a South-South coalition said from paragraphs 4 to 12 of his reply, Obasanjo emphasized the constitutionality of “the forceful expropriation of Niger Delta”.
Eni, a lawyer, thanked the retired General for the “revelations” which he said aren’t new to the region. “What he failed to reveal is that suppressing “tribes” in a state is in reality nothing more than an attempt to create a state where smaller nationalities are silenced, or annihilated so their lands and resources are annexed and controlled by the larger ethnic nations who also make up the state.
“This does not only show the failure of the Nigerian state he swears by, but also shows the complicity of the international community he hobnobs with and whose interests in the Niger Delta he has served. This also shows the failure of the Niger Delta leadership to stand by and for our people. “Most important to the NDC are paragraphs 20 and 21 wherein Obasanjo revealed moves he and some other collaborators from within and outside the Niger Delta are making to once again shortchange the people as has been done within the Nigerian context since 1960, and which he has played an integral part of from the civil war till date.”
Then his farm belongs to Nigeria too, okoko man
Then who has responsibilities for security,health,infrastructure,education and economic well being of Nigerians? The “leaders “ claim benefits from resources but abandon or deny obligations. Nigeria is & remain unfit as a country. The options of Biafra & Oduduwa are enticing.
I see a good leader

Open letter: I don't hate Niger Delta, Obasanjo replies Clark - Punch NewspapersFormer President Olusegun Obasanjo has denied claims that he hated people of Niger Delta origin. One good thing is that Obasanjo has continued to render account of his stewardship. It is left to now and posterity to judge his actions and inactions. The bad thing is that he is still his vindictive self, even insinuating that the ND would have been doomed if Biafra succeeded. It's wrong to say Obasanjo hate Niger Delta. As a president, he initiated 13% derivation for the region, he picked GEJ as Yar'adua's running mate. He ensured GEJ became president after the demise of Yar' adua.
