JONATHAN, OBASANJO IN FURITFUL MEETING

Despite the uproar generated by the open letter by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan, Vanguard learnt that the two leaders met ...
privately for a closed door meeting on Thursday
in Nairobi.
Talks between the current and former presidents were held at the
luxurious Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi where Jonathan is lodged
to attend Kenya's 50th independence celebrations.
Jonathan and Obasanjo had on Tuesday attended the memorial held to
honor the life of Nelson "Madiba" Madela, South Africa's great man of
history and world's single most significant statesman of the last 100
years.
Jonathan and Obasanjo were said to have had a "fruitful discussion"
after emerging from the meeting beaming with smiles and sharing a warm
handshake in a move to paper over cracks in their continually strained
relationship and sway watchers that there was no acrimony between the
two, the source said.
Obasanjo wrote an 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan in
which he accused President Jonathan of ruling as a dictator, training
a killer gang, driving the country to the brink by allowing corruption
and mutual distrust.
