Ex President Obasanjo said that the people of Niger Delta will suffer from the action and Inaction of former president Goodluck Jonathan in his time of leadership.
Obasanjo responded to question after a speech at the Benson Idahosa University Convocation in Benin city,explaining that he couldn't have helped Jonathan to do his Job after helping him to secure the Presidency.
“To become Head of State was because of my performance in the war front. If General Gowon had not sent me the war front, he would not know whether I could perform or could not perform. He sent me to the war front and because I performed, we both shared the credit but if I had failed, he would not have shared the condemnation with me. I would have been alone.
“I believe that the opportunity that availed itself in 2010 was for somebody from the minority to become the President of Nigeria. We should never lose such opportunity. What he did with it is entire up to him. What he did or did not do with it will reflect for a long time in that part of the country. There is no particular person who got there without the people.” he said
