The Presidency have reacted to the letter written by ex
President Olusegun Obasango accusing Jonathan of
betraying the mandate of the Nigerian people who voted him
to power, and had, instead, been pursuing selfish, personal
and political interests based on advice he received from
unpatriotic aides.
The Presidency through Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the
President, said that the letter is unbecoming, mischievous
and provocative
We have noted the publication on several websites today of a
letter recently written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
President Jonathan and Gen. Obasanjo (Rtd)
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.
