Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday said that the best appointments he made during his tenure including appointment both Prof Chukwuma Soludo and Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to lead the country’s economy despite series of criticism. Obasanjo stated this at an event in Anambra State to commemorate Governor Chukwuma Soludo's one-year tenure, condemning the 'persistent' aversion to people of southeastern descent, which he referred to as Igbophobia.

I Appointed Igbo As Central Bank Governor, Finance Minister And They Didn’t Ruin Nigerian Economy – Former President, ObasanjoObasanjo stated this at an event in Anambra State to commemorate Governor Chukwuma Soludo's one-year tenure, condemning the"persistent" aversion to people of southeastern descent, which he referred to as Igbophobia.

The former president stated that Soludo, who worked closely with him as an economic adviser, “never misadvised me”, and the economist’s performance impressed him so much so that he was asked to lead the apex bank. He said, “Somebody came to me and said, ‘Wow. You have ruined the economy of Nigeria.’ I said, ‘How?’ He said, ‘An Igbo woman, Minister of Finance; an Igbo man, Governor of the Central Bank? Then you have clearly completed the task of ruining the economy of Nigeria.’

Gen Sani Abacha did Nigerians a favour locking Obasanjo

But you did instead 😃

What about the INEC chairman you appointed? Professor Maurice Iwu. Shey he is an Igbo outcast, because he conducted the worst election there would ever be

Unlike the Fulani man call Emiefele

BOGbadams Sahara, say it the way it was daid? Obj daid that wad the bed appointment he ever made, hate for ignos no go kill you

OBJ ruined it himself with unprecedented looting.

Dr. Okonjo Iweala is from Delta State, not Igbo.

Lol, didirin, who is currently there as the CBN governor? Youruba go cancel this one and he would wished he never became silly. Yoruba don't forget, though we forgive..

Buhari appointed a Fulani man called Emiefele who successfully ruined the economy.

Baba is remembering his 'home base' now that he has started receiving unpleasant remarks and started creating new families in Iboland. Nice Baba, but don't rock the boat more than necessary sir.

ZenithBank please I made a transaction for over 24hrs and it hasn't gone through. Kindly reply this tweet as it is urgent

Most folk don’t care where leaders come from. The most important thing is competence. Look what 8 years of Buhari has done to Nigeria . Don’t understand why some folk , don’t get it.

But you headed a military campaign that killed over three millions of Igbo.. civilians and children inclusive. Sir, stop pretending as if you love the Igbos any better.

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo is a hypocrite.

Good old days of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Minister Of Finance, Professor Chalse Soludo CBN Governor and Late Dr Dora Akunyili of blessed memory, DG MAFDAC. Hmmmmm 'There Was a Country'...

No be lie

If Nigeria economy was that good under obasanjo, we would have not been saying yar adua govt was the best govt till date. Make all of una getat. Igbos are looking for validity everywhere

UBACares UBAGroup UBAGroup why is taking you guys so long to give my money back

They didn't, you did

Bcos your real papa was an Obi of Anambra so you're also an IGBO. Don't forget the real owner of Otta farm and how you manipulated it as well as the Library. 😀😀

Even the late Dora Akunyili was under OBJ's regime

That’s your choice

Yet some of the south westerners will never see truth in this great piece. They'd even tag OlusegunObasnjo an igbo man.... They hate Truth

Pe Wallahi!🤣🤣🤣 I thought Godwin Emefiele is a Yoruba political rascal ni o😜😜😜

UBA is becoming a nightmare to me,their consistent withholding of transacted funds is getting me fed up,please, UBA management need to step up their games o,so to say,my money was deducted from my account and it did not get to the recipient since a day before yesterday.

hope Emefiele is a Yòrùbá man?

Another Igbo man ruined this economy! 🤦🏽 And he was appointed by your anointed President GEJ.

Baba believes so much in igbo...

Igbos cannot steal and bury inside house, that's the wicked thing an embezzler can do, use the money nd build factory in your village nah, at least you can employ people

Emefiele na Fulani man na🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emefiele na Yoruba? It's not them but this whole buhari administration of northerners in power ruined all no check and balance as they are okay since it favours them

Thank u

From 1999 to date we haven't gotten a leader that will take to another level with the excess natural resources in every nook and cranny of this country,

Make this man get out. He's lost his relevance and trying so hard to have it back. So obvious The most controversial politician Nigeria has ever produced

GhostOfEcstasy Shut up sir what happened to madueke minister for petroleum even abacha no loot reach that woman… you don cast sir your papa na Igbo so no excuse the first Yoruba president we are having is BOLA ASIWAJU AHMED TINUBU…

Who are you?

This delta man don drain our country and e no funny 😮‍💨

Hhhhh this old man should just go and rest,u ruin everything u meet in naija ,the only good thing u can be proud of is transition of power to another civilian Head of govt,rest baba

This is not about Igbo or Yoruba, it's about how well do we love ourselves to help each other arise into greatness that is destined to us, Helping each other promotes the best in us, help the Elect President inorder to become a better President and do not give room to display

OPayNigeria please refund my money. I did a transfer u debited me and didn't credit the recipient.

Appreciate the effort but it is not about the economy. It is just basic hatred.

You paid your dues on inclusive governance your Excellency

Buhari killed this country with his useless tribalism and nepotism policy.

While Buhari appointed Fulani man from Mali as Central Bank governor (Emefiele) and ruined the economy.

Awwwww! Baba Obasanjo! Baba Obasanjo!! Baba Obasanjo!!! Baba Obasanjo!!!! Baba Obasanjo!!!!! Oolusegun_obj Baba ooo! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Baba l'eje o🙌 Thurgery and insurgence leaders cannot make this statement because they're filled with lies.

Absolutely true. Buhari's government full of northern appointees have ruined the country

UBACares please refund my money

Yes we know.

Baba Obasanjo rest O ...Blood is thicker than water so they say ...They are your family members history told us that the late Obi of Onitsha who died in 1972 was your Biological father ...

Meanwhile, Buhari appointed a Fulani man who virtually ruined the economy and dragged Nigeria into the bottomless pit with one nonsense cashless policy.

UBACares please refund my money

UBACares What exactly is going on ? Una no wan refund ma money ni ? UBACares

And buhari appointed a fulani man (emefiele) and ruin d economy

CollinsOshor They should go and verify

Omo this man no fine ooo

Means what? He loves other tribe more than any president? He is better than any president that is or will be? Baba...it is time to rest.

Yes yes yes

And when it was time to succeed Yaradua he went South South instead of South East, the Igbos are not good enough for the presidency main dish but the crumbs.

God bless NOIweala

They are experts in their field

OBJ is not the best thing that happened to Nigeria, OBJ wiped a complete community in Odi Bayelsa State. Oh u have forgotten? But Yeradua come and solve the problem without killing innocent people. OBJ is agent of colonial Masters, he serve them to our detriment till date.

He then supported a northern man for presidency

No wonder operation feed the nation was privatised by U. Na we be our own problem, in d quest of being self-righteous, we keep making the same mistake over n over again. Not every colleague is ur friend, maintain a standard relationship n leave it at that

This is The only man who can tell us how dangerous and greedy this man is….but many people thinks he’s the messiah of the country anyway wetin me i know?

All of you are under this tweet crying that Emefiele is Igbo but you fail to understand that OBJ didn’t appoint him as CBN governor. Y’all don’t even read to understand but read to criticize and at the end of the day making a fool and mockery of yourselves.

Hahaha Nigeria is not property, allow to chose the best for the country.

Y'all will accept anything and say anything as long as they say sh!t u wantu hear ......it's never not funny 🤣🤣

This man shud rest na😂😂......it's the comments for me😅😭

Ayyah so u mean now emefiele hav disappointed U..

A man with wisdom. Buhari don appoint his fellow Muslims and northerners brothers and relations, and the end of 8years what happened to a country

Obasanjo is never a Yoruba man. His father is from Anambra his mother only gave him tribal mark because she doesn't want to lose her child to Igbo. Oolusegun_obj is never and can never be a Yoruba

You have no shame Sir

Obasanjo is still one of the best things that happened to this Country

Emefele is Igbo sir, hw is the economy

Instead you did

You have also forgotten NAFDAC DG and FRSC, even Aviation minister with her baggages seems like a star today. They were all STARS!

Amplified

UBACares please refund my money. I did a transfer u debited me and didn't credit the recipient.

Elemele na fulani abi?..

joinkuda let's be guided please for weeks now the recipient has not been credited and my money hasn't be reversed back to my account. We can't call you and you don't respond to emails

Keystonebankng pls refund my N50,000. You debited me since 9th March. I came to your branch in Uyo on 3 occasions, no positive response.

MR SELF ACCLAIMED LEADER ! Always about himself alone. Live And Let Live .

Baba, go and sleep somewhere

Lori iro

So the current one is Egun abi and he has improved the economy. Yeye man.

Emefiele and his yoruba/nupe origin is currently ruining the country with daft policies quarter by quarter.

The cbn governor now is from Kano.🤣

Why is this man trying so hard for attention ?

How many ibo Senate president did you remove technically and why do you do so.

Is that the end jusfies now the Nigerian Economy is ruined

But what were paid Nigerians in return?

Shame on You. With all million you wasted in Electricity / Energy with China. You are suppose to be in Jail now if Nigeria is a lawful Nation. Yiu and your vice corrupt leaders

But one of them was telling you to your face right there in the same hall that your tribe are political rascals despite all of the appointments you made and you didn't find offensive or defend your tribe. You are incredible.🤦‍♂️

Baba go and sit down ur candidate ti lule

OBJ is a patriot no doubt, but he messed up the day he tore up his PDP membership card, wrote the infamous letter about GEJ’s fake ‘1000snipers’. That action and many other factors set the motion for enthronement of this APC tragedy that befell Nigeria in 2015.

We know.. nah where u put naija economy we dey now.. how the road to your mama village be?

Baba go face ur farm

Excellent speech

_BeenUmar power had to go to the North. Those who you mentioned are from South

Ogun state is still underdeveloped

Useless old man..

So?

Remind them

All of you asking if Emefelie is not an Igbo man, my question to you is was he appointed by OBJ? Do you read to understand or to react? OBJ said he appointed, so who appointed Emefelie? Reason why most of you fail exams. Awan olodo oshi

You appointed your family from your biological father side. Baba weyray

Now igbo's are Fucked for real, Obasanjo is transferring all his bad luck to them, They think is love.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What most people don't know...this is the man still.hokding Nigeria. Together...the rest of dem a bigot...and ethnic champions...i pray for God to keep him.longer..

Ebora Owu

Lol Baba don dey chase clout small small.

A mass murderer

FBN_help FirstBankngr why am I finding it difficult to increase my transfer limit, your app cants generate token required for the increase? And you're not replying my massage?

OBJ is detribalised. He hired the best hand for the job. That can't be said of Buhari who thought that governance should be a family affairs thing or religious or ethnic thing. Illiteracy and ignorance destroyed APC government.

Obasanjo inherited an empty treasury and huge debts. Unlike some we know, he didn't waste time blaming Abdulsalami Abubakar. He went to work. With Ngọzi Okonjo-Iweala as finance mister, debts were written off by Paris club and the economy started looking up again. Haters many

Baba you are solidly the Father of all. The New Nigeria is very possible. Thank you

You will forever have my respect even in the grave .

Tell them Baba.

Emefiele is from Iragbiji,Osun State.

Simply the truth

Is Jonathan an ibo man?

Good talk Baba...ride on sir

But you ruin Nigeria yourself MR ex president

That's why he appointed them, he knew they can help steal without trace....that's why 16 billion dollars meant for electricity disappeared without trace. We get your point...

But you ruined Nigeria!

I know few companies here in lagos that it is igbo people working their, because of their KNOW CHARACTER OF CONSPIRACY make the companies fold up.

No be one of them they want remove from his GOVERNORSHIP POSITION? Saying he is a DISASTER..so who is lying - OBASANJO or ANAMBRA PEOPLE 🤣🤣🤣

This man is too old and he’s saying rubbish

Do you know what it means to convert all your business money to £20 to rise up from the war and still control the commerce of a nation. They know their gang up agains Obi. Obi won his election bc they are afraid to let Igbos open their ports and dump Lagos that was this rigging.

Listen to Emefiele below

Who else ruined Nigerian economy? Emifiele is responsible for destroying country's economy. One day he will see just, proper reward for all he has done.

You will live long OBJ

BABA WAKE UP! WAKE UP!!

But u failed woefully

But you ruin Nigeria

Please patronise me🙏 women heels for just 7k

myaccessbank I was debited for a failed transaction yesterday. Please refund my money

Buchi Mat'nati, Oghior via YouTube

Correct

If na Hausa or Yoruba dem go thief money finish

Where is the current CBN gov from again? Lol 😂

Omo nna

That is to say, if Igbo was elected the president of the country, the country shall be better for it.. seconded

Who cares?

Agbado supporters 3 2 1 go

Baba kosi oro lenu yi.

That's why tinubu appointed an Igbo man from Anambra Ben Akabueze as his finance, budget and planning commissioner to save his government when Obasanjo withheld Lagos allocation.

Obasanjo RN

oma_melar So giving them president won't either.

For those not understanding, OBJ is implying that Igbos are fit enough and love the country enough to not ruin it.

Why did you not reappoint him for a second term?

Baba sha dey find relevant.

Dady the love you have for us is endless we love you too

Why didn't you handover to an Igbo man? Where is your love?

You are a man of integrity,may our God give you long life and healthiness through Jesus Christ our Lord,amen🙏🏿

Emefiele is from ogun state? Baba e lo sun jharee

Fact

Sir with all due respect. try to dey cut the hair wey full your nose

myaccessbank please you guys should reverse back my money,you debited me without recharging the number i want to recharged,please reverse the money now

😆😂 But wasn't that the time $16bn power funds disappeared and no roads, bridges, railways were built? Hey, about the 2nd Niger Bridge?

Emefiele nko

Emefiele is never a bad CBN governor but just like everything about Buhari, he became so terrible 😔

You're only a political rascal sir

Something is wrong with this Man

I tot his form adeokuta

The most confused ex president in the world obj

Why didn't they open all the sea ports in the south East and South South with his Igbo appointees. One good dead does not justify a lifetime of wickedness.

Igbos have natural inclination to successful finance management, no tribe rivals that

We know you obj, we know your origin. It is still paining you that BAT will be a President from the west. Agbaya
