Why Tinubu should probe Buhari, Obasanjo, Jonathan – SAN

The former Chairman of the Nigerian Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, on Friday, explained why President Bola Tinubu should probe all the past administrations.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria spoke at a colloquium that was held in Abuja to mark the 25th anniversary of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama as a SAN.

In a paper he presented at the event, entitled; ‘The Nigeria Of Our Dreams: A Call To The Patriots’, the senior lawyer equally called for the renaming of the country.

On his call for President Tinubu to probe past administrations, Olanipekun, SAN, said: “Let us remind ourselves that we cannot make omelet without breaking eggs. What do I mean? The President has to ask questions, and sordid questions indeed, about how we have come to this sorry pass; why we are in a big mess; why the economy is grounded; what have happened to the previous budgets and the trillions of Naira allocated to road rehabilitation, healthcare delivery, security, infrastructural rehabilitation, institutional restoration, etc.

“Why have our airports, particularly the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, which is our gateway to the outside world, plunged into such a shambolic state, constituting an eyesore to any rational human being- despite the billions of Naira purportedly earmarked and expended towards rehabilitating them; why our youths and professionals of all cadres, at their prime, exiting the country in droves (JAPA) in search of golden fleece which does/do not even exist in several instances.

“For example, it is now common knowledge that many Nigerians are left destitute without jobs, after travelling to the United Kingdom.

“Lest I forget, the government must also interrogate a very profound question as to why the national currency, Naira has fallen so abysmally, almost from Grace to grass, and virtually becoming valueless with N900 exchanging for just one USD.

“The present administration must examine and audit, all books and records as well as past expenditures, whether real or otherwise,” Olanipekun, SAN, added.
