Jonathan Puts Together A "Robust" Reply To Obasanjo's Letter

Despite their meeting over breakfast in Kenya on Friday, President
Goodluck Jonathan has take up his pen and paper and he is putting
together what inside sources say is a "robust reply" to Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo.
First, the Presidency is in panic mood as to how Obasanjo got some
of the information he disclosed his his long letter because they are
top secret and it is believed that some aides to President Jonathan
will be sacked in a bid to cover all leakages. The next line of action
now is to deny some of the weighty revelations...
Presidential aides saddled with the responsibility of compiling a
response to the letter met again for hours inside the Presidential Villa
in Abuja on Friday. Those who met included the Special Adviser to the
President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak; Senior Special Assistant
to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe; Senior Special
Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Umar
Sani.
A source told Punch that, “The aides will present their work to the
President over the weekend. By the time he goes through it and make
corrections, the response may be ready any time next week.”
Recall that in his strong-worded letter, Obasanjo had accused
President Jonathan of pursuing “selfish personal and political
interests based on advice from his self-centred aides.”
He also alleged that the President had failed to deliver on his
promises to Nigerians and to curb insurgency and corruption in the
country.
“Nigeria is bleeding and the haemorrhage must be stopped,” Obasanjo
warned Jonathan.
