When it got to $20, I was dancing.\u00a0know the price is down now and with time, it will\u00a0jump up again. What Buhari is doing currently is\u00a0preparing ground for Nigeria to take advantage\u00a0when it goes up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Obasanjo expressed angst against those asking him to\u00a0account for recovered Abacha loot, describing them\u00a0as illiterates and silly people.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Obasanjo, who stated this in an interview, weekend,\u00a0said the role of his office was to facilitate the\u00a0recovery process and not how it was put to use.<br \/>\nHe said: \u201cThey said the money recovered from\u00a0Abacha, I should account for it. What stupidity! The\u00a0man who asked for it, the man who gave the\u00a0judgement or who answered them are all silly,\u00a0with due respect.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI don\u2019t keep account, all Abacha loots were sent to\u00a0Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and every bit of it was\u00a0reported to Minister of Finance. My job was to write\u00a0where we can get help to recover the money.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Every penny that comes out of it went to CBN, so if\u00a0they want to know what happened to the money,\u00a0they should call CBN governor or call the Minister\u00a0of Finance.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cBut again, it shows ignorance, total ignorance,\u00a0which is lacking and you wonder, are these people\u00a0educated? They can also approach the man who\u00a0helped us in recovering process to give the list of<br \/>\nmoney recovered and where he took it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ex President Olusegun Obasanjo has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to stop using dwindling crude prices for lack of performance.
