President Goodluck Jonathan has been urged to persecute former President Olusegun Obasanjo for allegedly using Halliburton bribery and corruption scandal to enrich himself.
The appeal was made by the Movement for All Nigerians (MAN) yesterday in Abuja saying that a serious probe should also be done on N360 billion tax-payer money channeled to Chief Tony Anenih when he was Minister of Works during Obasanjo administration.
In a statement signed by group's Chairman Publicity Committee, Barr. Dele Akindada Moses said President Jonathan should stop investing in "the power sector until the billions of Naira wasted by Obasanjo regime are recovered"
MAN also said President Jonathan should ensure that Obasanjo resigned for his position as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman Board of Trustee since there are too many cases of corruption against him.
While calling on patriotic lawyers to join the group to ensure Obasanjo is properly arraigned, the group said "We call for an immediate probe into the controversial sell of NICON to Pentascope by Obasanjo regime, which leaves Nigerians embarrassed," the statement added.
