Following a statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo that members of the National Assembly are corrupt, former Speaker of House of Representatives, Hon. Ghali Umar Na’Abba, while fielding questions from newsmen on Sunday, said Obasanjo is one of the most corrupt Nigerians. Na’Abba said Obasanjo should explain to Nigerians how he became one of the richest Nigerians after leaving office, when he had virtually nothing before he assumed office. In his words, Na’Abba said, “Well, I don’t think there is anybody that is more corrupt in this country like the former President. I believe you are talking about the former President Olusegun Obasanjo. As the Speaker, I took Obasanjo on various expenditure offences which he committed, which he could not defend and didn’t show any remorse. In fact, that is why sometimes in 2002, the National Assembly tried to impeach him.”
