Officials from Nigeria's House of Representatives have accused former president Olusegun Obasanjo of corruption during his term in office, Punch has reported.

The officials said this following a letter written to the Senate president, Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara by Obasanjo earlier this week.

In the letter, Obasanjo accused the lawmakers of greed, corruption and insensitivity to the declining state of Nigeria's economy.

The lawmakers, however, hit back at Obasanjo, describing his utterances as "misdirected". They said they assumed his anger was meant to be directed at the 4th and 5th assemblies, not the current (8th) assembly, Vanguard reports.

Senator Dino Melaye, of the Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said in a statement on Thursday that the retired general was misplacing his anger.

According to Senator Melaye, Obasanjo was responsible for introducing corruption into the country while pursuing his ambition of a third term in office.

I concur. Obj is the father of corruption in Nigeria.

Gbam. Not only introducing but also taught on how to make it more, effective. kirtle calling pot black

Saying that OBJ is corrupt is just an opinion. If you have evidence take him to court.
Instead of talking dig him out so he will be made to face the music properly.
