Senator Femi Okurounmu, an Afenifere chieftain and chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on National Conference has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo was responsible for Nigeria's many problems.
The Afenifere chieftain stated this in an interview with New Telegraph Newspaper.
He believes that Nigeria cannot move forward unless it is restructured.
In the interview, Senator Okurounmu said: “Chief Olusegun Obasanjo began to let Nigerians down in 1999 when he turned deaf ears to the convocation of a National conference.
“For all the eight years he was president, he turned deaf ears”.
“The only time he thought of having something that resembled a conference was in 2005, when he had the National Political Reform Conference and the only reason he did that was to have a third term.
“His principal goal of organising that conference was to get a third term; to get the constitution amended, so that he could have a third term. It was purely for a selfish interest”.
