Former Chairman, Senate Committee on Water Resources, Senator Joseph Waku, has claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo brought corruption to Nigeria.
Senator Waku urged President Muhammadu Buhari to either probe Obasanjo or forget about his current war against corruption in the country.
Waku said this in an interview with journalists, yesterday, on the sideline at the ongoing Annual General Assembly of the Arewa Consultative Forum in Kaduna.
He said, “Look, I am 70 years old now and have been in this game for more than 50 years.
“Therefore, there is no way I can just look at some totality of what people are saying about corruption and believe it as it has been reported to me. If I have an investigating mechanism, I know that this accusation is real obviously.
“I have access to authority. I have access to Mr. President. I told Mr. President that this corruption probe of past regimes, if you don’t probe Obasanjo, then you haven’t done anything yet. Corruption in Nigeria was introduced by Obasanjo”
