Senate President, Bukola Saraki, yesterday, responded informally to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter to him last week, blaming all past leaders since 1999 for the woes the country is presently facing.
Saraki said rather than blame an individual, all past leaders of the country since the return of democracy in 1999 were culpable of the present economic problems of the country.
He insisted that all public office holders in Nigeria since 1999 , were involved in one way or the other, in the mistakes of the past that led the country to the present political and economic mess.
The Senate President spoke while responding to questions from journalists on the alleged secrecy of the National Assembly’s budget and corruption leveled against it by former President Obasanjo in a recent letter.
He noted that it was wrong for anybody to hold an individual or group of people solely responsible for the mess of the past.
Saraki said rather than trading blames on the woes afflicting the country now, what was needed from all stakeholders was a collective participation of all for the good of all Nigerian
