President Jonathan Reacts To Obasanjo's Exposé

President Goodluck Jonathan has admitted that he received a
strongly-worded letter from his Oga at the top, ex-President Olusegun
Obasanjo, over recent developments in the country but he is not
happy about it.
The Presidency, while reacting to the letter written by Obasango
accusing Jonathan of betraying the mandate of Nigerians who voted
him to power, said through Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the
President on Media, that the letter is unbecoming, mischievous and
provocative.
Obasanjo accused Jonathan point-blank of pursuing selfish, tribal and
personal interests based on the advice he received from the
unpatriotic aides. Below is the statement from the Presidency:
"We have noted the publication on several websites today of a
letter recently written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
"We however find it highly unbecoming, mischievous and
provocative that a letter written by a former Head of State and
respected elder statesman to President Jonathan has been
deliberately leaked to the mass media in a deplorable effort to
impugn the integrity of the President and denigrate his
commitment to giving Nigeria the best possible leadership.
"While many patriotic, objective and well-meaning Nigerians
have already condemned the leaked letter as self-serving,
hypocritical, malicious, indecent, and very disrespectful of the
highest office in the land, President Jonathan has directed that
none of his aides or any government official should join issues
with Chief Obasanjo over it."
“The President himself will, at the appropriate time, offer a full
personal response to the most reckless, baseless, unjustifiable
and indecorous charges levied against him and his
administration by the former Head of State.”
Meanwhile, a cross section of Nigerians have praised Obasanjo for
speaking the bitter truth to Jonathan.
