Former President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that claims of him attempting to cripple Lagos state economy under Bola Tinubu’s government is utter nonsense.
Obasanjo in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo said President Bola Tinubu should also know that such claim is nonsense and that shouldn’t make him allegedly own Alphabeta firm.
On being vindictive against former Governor of Delta state, James Ibori, Obasanjo said he (Ibori) was investigated and found to have allegedly misappropriated over $200 million dollars.
The former President said Ibori who found out that he was being investigated, allegedly offered the then Chairman of EFCC, Nuhu Ridabu, $15 million.

Obasanjo who noted that the case was pursued up to the United Kingdom where Ibori served jail term, added that if that’s being vindictive, then Nigeria needs more of that.
On Peter Obi, Obasanjo said he supported him and still believes he’s the man that can bring the Nigeria we want at this time.
He said: “For the Nigeria that I believe we need to have at this point in time, Peter Obi is still the best candidate.”
On what he considered his greatest legacy, the former President said: “That I came here [earth] and God was immeasurably kind to me and showed His grace on me.”
