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.
