Former Nigerian
president, Olusegun Obasanjo and Ghana's President, John Mahama were
said to have thrown words and open insults at each otherat the Annual
Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London.
These heated exchange almost led to an outburst and confusion at the
forum.
The President of Ghana, John
Mahama and his government were publicly accused by Obasanjo of blackmail
and accepting bribes from Nigerian businessmen based in Ghana, buying
various properties in South Africa and Nigeria and supporting last
year's campaign of Goodluck Jonathan's with 12 million dollars, as
reported by Daily Onus,
According to
the report, the Ghanaian President, John Mahama, who was clearly
angered, lost his cool and while pointing his finger, he called General
Obasanjo an "idiot" and a "stupid buffoon". It took the intervention of
the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni and other ministers that were
present to cool the nerves of President John Mahama. Mahama was later
taken to a nearby room.
The Annual
Global African Investment Forum holds from 1st to 3rd of December and
those in attendance include African Heads of States, Ministers, private
equity firms and investors. The aim of the forum is to discuss
opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.
Is
it now truly 'fun' to General Obasanjo whenever he is being insulted,
recalling that on October 14, 2015, he said it was a pleasure to him
when he was being insulted as a sitting president by his critics or
political opponents.
His words, “If
you visit the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, you
will find thousands of archived newspaper comics and columns meant to
spite and insult my person even as a sitting President. No individual or
group of people was ever queried or jailed or repressed for expressing
this freedom. Rather, I encouraged them because I derived fun and
pleasure from the humour as I know who I am and nobody needs to tell me
who and what I am not “.
