Ex-Reps chief whip disputes Obasanjo’s account of Na’Abba’s leadership, recalls impeachment crisis

Former Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, Abubakar Bwari, has challenged former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s recent claims against the late former Speaker, Ghali Na’Abba, insisting that the former president’s account of events surrounding impeachment moves during the Fourth Republic is inaccurate and unfair to the deceased lawmaker.

Among the claims in the letter was an allegation that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar attempted to use the late Speaker, Mr Na’Abba, to orchestrate his impeachment by allegedly offering him N5 million.” The statement comes days after Mr Obasanjo, in a public letter responding to former Ogun State Governor Segun Osoba’s article, “How Obasanjo Deceived Us in 2003,” alleged that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar offered the late speaker N5 million to initiate impeachment proceedings against him during his presidency.
