While celebrating his 79th birthday yesterday at
the International Conference Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library,
Abeokuta, the former President said he is surprised how the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, went from ‘tough’ to ‘soft’ saying when the pioneer
chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was there it was a different case.
He said many people coined the saying that the fear of Ribadu
was the beginning of wisdom, but that is no longer the same.
“As all know when Nuhu Ribadu was handling the EFCC, he
handled it in such a way that people coined the saying that the fear of Ribadu
is the beginning of wisdom.
“And the the thing you will ask is, how did we go down? How
did we lose that, how did we, Nuhu Ribadu is still here, he is still alive, the
institution that we started together is still there, what made the institution
to become a toothless bull dog?”, the ex-president said.
Ribadu was however present at the birthday ceremony.
