Ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday accused immediate past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of ignoring warnings about a looming recession and the consequences of the ‘reckless’ spending of his government.

He said two years ago when he saw signs that Nigeria was walking down the path of recession and the way the powers that be were expending the nation’s resources, he drew Jonathan’s attention to the danger ahead, but was ignored.

According to The Nation, the former president spoke yesterday during a lecture organized by the Youth Fellowship of Owu Baptist Church, Abeokuta to mark Nigeria’s Independence Day anniversary.

He said the economic situation in the country has turned development upside down as “things are not what they should be.” He cited the high level of unemployment which he described as a time bomb.

    Water… Earth… Fire… Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.

    As if Buhari has stopped blaming past government plus Obasanjo’s government. Cut down senators salaries and unnecessary allowances to feed the poor. Too much waste that’s why some of always sleep on ground, when discussing national matters. # change begins with me#
