National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has said posterity will judge former President Olusegun Obasanjo harshly for ceding Bakassi to Cameroon.
He called on the people of Cross River to never forget Obasanjo “because he handed over Nigeria to Cameroon because he wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize.”
Oshiomhole, who spoke while addressing party supporters during the APC’s presidential campaign rally in Calabar on Wednesday, noted that even if Nigerians failed to punish Obasanjo for that act, history would not spare him.
“Nigeria can never forgive him. History will punish him if we are too weak to punish him. He separated fathers from mothers, brothers from sisters. The Nobel Peace Prize is not given to traitors.”
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari in his remarks insisted that his government has done very well citing improved security in the North East as one of his achievements.
