According to Oby Ezekwesili, Obasanjo's government was not as corrupt as the government of Late Sani Abacha
"There was no way it could have been more corrupt that the government of Abacha. I am sorry" she said
Asked
what she makes of the Wikileaks report that quoted former EFCC
Chairman, Nuhu Ribadu telling the US Ambassador in 2007 that although in
the Abacha days, only Abacha was the sole thief in his government, in
the Obasanjo administration, everyone was a thief, Oby Ezekwesili
replied
"The next person you should invite to your show should be Nuhu Ribadu. Its not about rejecting his views. I don't have counter-factory evidence on the basis to reject it"she said
Asked
how corrupt is former President Obasanjo is in her view, she said
"Is that supposed to be a question on the basis of some factual thing that you are putting before me? My sense of President Obasanjo was that he gave me the freedom to define the work that I did that public procurement was more transparent than it used to be"she said
According
to Dr Ezekwesili, the Obasanjo administration had some corruption
challenges and as the President then, Obasanjo was aware of the elements
of corruption
"He was aware of the elements of corruption and it was his responsibility to tackle those issues of corruption. We tackled corruption but we didn't succeed fully. We didn't" she said.
Dr Ezekwesili later said she will be reacting later today to all the rumbles that her interview has
caused.

They went for her jugular coz she refused to say Obadanjo's administration was corrupt.
Still can't find anything wrong with the answers she gave. But you can't please everyone.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
When obasanjo came into power fuel was 2o# perlitre he left it @ 70
Hmmmmmmmm, ok
I have said it evry1 in Nigerian govt can easily become an activist like Oby right after they leave Office. Just watch Ngozi-Okonjo Iweala even Soludo did same.
While, they are chopping money they will defend nonsense.
Oby isn't stupid, she won't bite the hand that fed her. If GEJ gave her an office, you think you will hear her voice?
All of them are the same; if you like jump from party to party.
And that's how Oby will come out for president come 2031. Yes U heard it!
@UmeOma
To b sincere I concur wit wht she said bcos u don't say an accused is guilty until b proven guilty. Same tin applies wit corrupt officials.
Smart woman. Most corrupt country in the world wants to catch thieves in Nigeria. worry about yourself, America.
Witty woman.Baba is corrupt but at least he was careful not to parade his acts and corrupt criminals like trophy like the hero did.
Not my business though.
But she's defending OBJ way too much.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Ain't no way she was gon bite the finger that fed her! Her adamant refusal to point fingers will raise dust on the supposed illicit affair between them that arose when they were pictured in an embrace.
Nuhu ribadu got it correctly,in military regime their is only one mega thief,but civilian govt,every politician is a mega thief,from presidency to councillors

very logical responses...outspoken n outstandin.. am nt suprise... kudos
Madam pls there was nothing excitable about that disgraceful interview of yours!you were reduced to a lame defender of one of the most corrupt regimes on earth!you should be quiet.
Same story
Here we go again, yesterday men and women denying what we all know.
Over a trillion naira sank for power project under st. Obj and her acolytes like Oby says he is not corrupt.
You people should enjoy your loot and spare us these lies.
this woman has lost all the respect I get for am o!infact how she and baba dey jolly is coming out soon!wen I hear d gist,i concluded OBJ has gay tendencies ni!cos dis Mr Madam too resemble a better looking specie of Gorrila dan baba o!she look like the western lowland specie while baba luk like d mountain Gorilla of the Albertinbe Rift of the Virunga Volcanoes.
Oversabi dey kill small goat.
Obasanjo,s right hand, Nija, i hail thee
Intelligence in a woman is a treasure whose worth cannot be measured in gold.
The inteviewer is so rude!
#gbam! U are so intelligent.
Obasanjo's govt was the most corrupt ever in naija history. I have the facts Mrs Oby
Nonsense Corrupt Woman. Idiotic Old She Goat. They think we are stupid gullible people abi ? O please. You and Obasanjo are very corrupt.
She is taking sides.
Never bite d fingerthat feed you....datswat shedid
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
Her responses were so dodging & calculated,
"SHE IS NOT A POLITICIAN"
"SHE DOES NOT BELONG 2 ANY POLITICAL PARTY".........(yawns)
"OBJ ADMINISTRATION IS NOT AS CORRUPT AS ABACHA`S ADMINISTRATION" (lol).
A must watch interview.....finally lost my respects 4 her cos obviously BBOG was politicized
I watched it and I commend her.Exposure and confidence is very good.The guy was trying to browbeat her into responses and admissions but she kept her cool and answered sensibly.
I strongly would have recommended that she walk away like Robert Downey Jr did.There's a fine line between interviews and bullying.
She took him on nicely.
I watch the interview b4 going this morning,she is a politician trust me because she refuse to answer questions concerning obj regime,she already saw the questions coming and she prepare for it by not answering the questions...i will never fall a victim of all this people they r all liars
intelligent woman
Madam U don get wetin U dey find
MINISTER OF FINANCE
Intelligent!
She jst a shame to womanhood. All her action shows dat her husband do not have any control over her. After all her efforts to sell unity schools didn't come to limelight, she wants to make herself relevant in dis coming govt, so dat she will have an opportunity to loot d nations resources. Oby is a corrupt woman, her principal is a chronic corrupt man
See as she resemble obj sef.
Watched the whole interview. She's very brilliant and held her own. I think she's a blessing to Nigeria.
Would you say the same for GEJ? Did she do empirical analysis before she said GEJ is corrupt biko take seat
Calm down and comment. Give away is not running away
it really beats my imagination when young people exude the utmost mediocrity in analyzing what their opinions are about personalities as against the substance of a discourse. I call that 'arm chair criticism'. How much information do we have about development assistances and the institutions around it with regards to the effect they had on our development? How many of us got more educated and perhaps enriched our vocabulary with some development economic lingo by watching this video as opposed to focusing on her looks or what your beliefs are about her personality? everyone is entitled to their opinion though but we have all been opportuned to be in a technologically savvy world and can actually do a bit of reading and research ourselves, get our information and join her discourse later on. you will probably get the chance of asking her why she is not a drop dead beauty
Is it therefore logical to say GEJ or his administration is corrupt? Did you do an analysis? Do you hv to do an analysis to a say the sky is blue?
I don't support what she said but you that you are calling sm1 an animal? HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR TODAY? Be guided
I agree but I blame her for granting the interview
No one seems to be talking abt the fact that this guy is very rude
i used to respect her o
If dis woman no talk, she go get mouth odor?
Her answers were diplomatic but intelligent
http://dobzifingers.blogspot.com/?m=1
Self obsessed liar. OBJ was minister of petroleum for 8 years. Forget about PWC audit, he didn't even allow anybody see what he was doing in that ministry. She needs a mirror that actually reflects.
She is quite right. U don't judge people witout facts.
Nice one Obi
This is certainly the painful height of hypocrisy, gush! That woman is a chief criminal, it's now ok to conclude that she was only acting a script of the powers that be in trying to demonize gej's administration
Your mates are arguing about something intellectual you're here talking about sex. Ashawo oshi. And pls learn to write that god in small letter capital G is for the one true God. Oniranu
I was compelled to finish watching this interview as in my opinion Oby is a very intelligent woman who has a vision. She is well rounded and managed the interviewee with grace . Certain things are left unsaid in public; however she clearly made some really good points based on her experience. Finally I like the challenge she posed to the elite hausa guy from Maidugury. Definitely a must watch for every Nigerian.
Powerful woman
God punish you and your mother's husband. chauvinistic motherfucker
Dumb ASS IDIOT said G-D CREATED NIGERIA HOW STUPID THIS WOMAN SOUND
Kudos to Oby. Very nice interview, frank and intelligent responses. Very proud of her and hope GEJ appoints her a Minister for Petroleum or and other key portfolio. Well done Oby.
Please it is a FACT OBJ Gave out oil blocks like biscuits. Alakija anyone
I feel for Nigeria honestly. From bad to bad
She is mentally Retarded.
U see ursef? U see ur life muyiwa. U forgot to go under anon. NA so God dey catch una. To tink u r a gentle man... tweh! !
So why r ppl reacting?
whether u like it or not dis woman is brilliant, only view people can withstand such bullying interview and not be moved. Madam, no mater wot anybody say....i respect ur stands.
Lolz madam u don't say some body is corrupt wen u dont intergrit ur self #SMH for nigerians
WHat do you expect from her. she ran a failed bank and when abacha sent failed bank tribunal after her she ran out of the country.
I love dis woman, she gave d answers correctly n didn't allow d interviewer 2 put words in 2 r mouth
I wish dere's a like button
Haha! This is muyiwa..ode!
Ahahahahahaha mayuwa oo
Oby's BBOG as proven that she is an insiders collaborator than a critic. Buhari wil make her one of the Minister make we rest
Lol. This woman is not straight forward. A government that was generally seen as corrupt even by the head of efcc and the head really did nothing about it yet u don't believe he is corrupt. He was minister of petroleum for 8 yrs without accountability yet he is not corrupt. What off Halliburton scam? Yet he is not corrupt. Maybe you have another meaning for the word corruption can u pls tell us.
she is smart and intelligent, Buhari should hire her. on OBJ, oh well, I'm not sure she can judge what she did not see or made aware of
This guy is mental!!! Thumbs up to Oby. That was some HOT SEAT! imagine GEJ on that seat!
We shld be proud of her! How many of our politicians can withstand this heat and still keep their calm talking with adept knowledge of what they do. I wish we have more of her in the system.
