Waziri to Obasanjo: “Respect your age or I’ll expose you.”

Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo



Mrs Farida Waziri

A  former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mrs. Farida Waziri, on Wednesday described as “blatant falsehood,” the claim by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo that she was recommended for the EFCC job by convicted former Delta State Governor, James Ibori.

Expressing surprise that a man who has been twice a Nigerian  leader would “descend so low to peddle falsehood,” Waziri warned Obasanjo to respect his age or else she would  “open up on him.”

Ok. This is probably not another back and forth like the ones we are familiar with. There are a few scents I picked up from this statement. Apparently, god-fatherism is no longer news around here so I'd skip the analysis in respect of that. What I want to know is: why didn't she "open up on" the ex-President way earlier as EFCC Chairman? How come he is about to become an enemy all of a sudden, in the days of the breaking apart of PDP? Why the general mudslinging by the way? What don't we know here?

Well, by the way, madam Waziri: an elderly, Yoruba, former President cannot "peddle falsehood" o. Ah! Odindin President aye igba kan (a 'whole' former President).
