A former speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’Abba, yesterday fired back at former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his allegation that members of the National Assembly are corrupt. Na’Abba, while fielding questions from newsmen in Kano said Obasanjo was one of the most corrupt Nigerians. He said the former president should explain to Nigerians how he became one of the richest Nigerians after leaving office, when he had virtually nothing before he assumed office. Na’Abba said as speaker of the House of Representatives, he had cause to take Obasanjo on various expenditure offences he committed that the former president could not defend.
