Obasanjo is the Richest Ex-President in Africa


Former Abia State governor and Chairman of the Peoples Progressive Alliance (PPA), Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has again called on President UmaruYar’Adua to probe the investments of former president Olusegun Obasanjo. Speaking at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, yesterday, Dr. Kalu alleged that the former president was one of the richest individuals in Africa .

According to him, Obasanjo was a sacred cow as former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss; Mallam Nuhu Ribadu did not have the guts to probe him.

He alleged that Obasanjo, the former president has serious investments in banks, insurance companies while in office.

"If Yar’Adua probes Obasanjo today (yesterday) you will find that he is the richest individual in the whole of Africa . They have invested too much in banks, so much in insurance companies and so much in all aspects of investments but I thank God that I accused him of corruption."




This evidence further proves that the Nigerian government is corrupt. Obasanjo probably did not become this wealthy by following laws. As president, he was in control of a significant portion of Nigeria's profits.
