I Have Done My Duty To You ––Obasanjo Tells Jonathan


Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday declined to make fresh
reaction to the open letter sent to him by President Goodluck
Jonathan, which was a response to his earlier 18-page long letter on
the polity.
Obasanjo’s spokesman, Tunde Oladunjoye, told newsmen today at the
hilltop residence that Obasanjo will not further trade words with
Jonathan, nor dignify his letter with a fresh response.
“I will maintain my serenity, because by this letter I have done
my duty to you as I have always done, to your government, to
the party, PDP, and to our country, Nigeria”.
Obasanjo in envisaging Jonathan’s response had clearly stated what
his position will be: he will play mute.
In a statement on Monday, his spokesman said:
"Since the publication of the letter written by President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan, which was in response to the letter earlier written by the
revered former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, we have received
several requests from local and international media, asking to know
Chief Obasanjo’s reaction...
"Chief Obasanjo acknowledges Mr President’s letter/response,
however, Baba as he already indicated in his December, 2, 2013, letter
does not wish to make further comments beyond the contents of his
last
letter to Mr President or react to the said letter/response from
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan."
