The inimitable Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, captured the popular sentiment in his terse statement on the APC visit to Chief Obasanjo when he noted, in reference to Chief Obasanjo's new role as the "navigator" of the APC rescue ship. "If General Sani Abacha were alive today, would he also have been on the ship's complement? As Captain perhaps?" Soyinka asked, while warning that the country might be headed for a shipwreck. Headvised "families to begin the stockpiling of life-belts for the guaranteed crash."

I think this is a warning we have to take seriously. Exactly two years ago, Asiwaju Tinubu had this to say about Obasanjo and his experience:"What integrity has Obasanjo in terms of his legacies for Nigeria to speak on elections? Apart from his aborted third term ambition, he brought about and left a legacy of electoral corruption in the country. What is Obasanjo talking about? He should go away and retire in shame politically. He should leave the political landscape of this country alone. He brought a whole salad of corruption, manipulation and failures."
