Obasanjo's letter unbecoming, self-
serving &provocative - Presidency
The presidency has responded to former president
Obasanjo's letter to President Jonathan where he
accused the current president of taking actions
calculated at destroying Nigeria. See the State
House press release below...
We have noted the publication on several
websites today of a letter recently written by
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to President
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
The Presidency acknowledges that it has
indeed received the said letter from Chief
Obasanjo.
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.
