"In the event that President Obasanjo who administered this nation for 11 and half years has regulated majority rule government, run of law and regard for human rights, we won't be in this wreckage and the control of Nigeria by the Nigerian individuals, we will have an Eldorado at this point.
"Along these lines, it would be ideal if you let Obasanjo and others be straightforward to concede that they conveyed us to this despicable scene. Along these lines, no one should show off with regards to the misgovernance of Nigerians.

"The more you spend on vitality, the more murkiness you get. So what is there to celebrate? What we have were mass joblessness and offer of national resources for few young men who were near the administration and apparatus of races.

"With incredible regard to previous President Olusegun Obasanjo, aside from the assertions of nepotism and closeness, which can't be debated, each different claims made there, is not a big deal.

"A considerable lot of us have overlooked the kidnapping of Governor Chris Ngige, huge numbers of us have overlooked the way that the National Assembly and the House of Representatives showed bunches of naira with which it was affirmed that the administration needed to fix the administrators.
"Huge numbers of us have disregarded the third term motivation or the way that numerous individuals who were likewise shut to the seats of energy were dealt with like consecrated bovines even in the battle against defilement. Yet, I would prefer not to join issues with Obasanjo for the present on his letter so one isn't seeing as embracing exemption in our nation yet other than the charges of nepotism and relation which the administration is famously noted for, I think, they are flying creatures of same quills."
Falana likewise talked progressing by the Senate to supplant Ibrahim Magu as administrator of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The Senate since March a year ago, settled not to affirm candidates to positions not determined in the Nigerian constitution, until the point that Magu was evacuated.
