”Out of Over 250 Nigerian Tribes, Buhari Trusts Only His Relations – Obasanjo 

Former Nigeria’s president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has berated the Muhammadu Buhari administration as full of hypocrites on the matter of corruption saying that they will go beyond jail to hell if they are probed.
President Obasanjo who spoke in an interview with BBC Yoruba further said that Atiku Abubakar would have handled the country better than President Buhari who he said only trusts a close knit of family and friends in sensitive positions of government.
“What I am saying is that where we are today, our present situation, if you look at those who are there today and our boss, I insist that Atiku will do better than them.
“This is not a prophecy. Those in government today, if we expose them, all of them will enter hell; they will not only go to jail.  They will go to hell. Whoever that God does not expose his sins to the public is the person whose secret is kept.
Obasanjo says Atiku would do a better job
On if Atiku would have done a better job of running the country, he said:
“I did not say he will behave like Jesus.  I did not say he will behave like Prophet Muhammed, but he will do better, in fact twice better than what we have at present.”
While accusing President Buhari of nepotism, the former president said:
“Look at what is happening, the person that is leading us says he cannot appoint any other tribes into the posts he considers sensitive because he does not trust them.
“If he cannot trust my tribe and your tribe what is the benefit? And he still wants my tribe and your tribe to vote for him. So, he can ask us to vote for him but he cannot trust us to be appointed into sensitive positions. What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.
“If you don’t trust us, how do you want me to trust you? If you trust me and I misbehave replace me with another person.  But if only your maternal and paternal relatives are the only people you can appoint because they are the only people you can trust…
“In Nigeria, where we have tribes numbering about 500, you now said you could not trust some people. That is what we are saying.” he said.
