OBASANJO'S LETTER RECKLESS, BASELESS, UNJUSTIFIABLE, INDECOROUS - JONATHAN

The Presidency has reacted to the letter written by ex President
Olusegun Obasango accusing Jonathan of betraying the mandate of
Nigerians who voted him to power, and...
had, instead, been pursuing
selfish, personal and political interests based on the 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.
Obasanjo in his letter accused Jonathan of destroying Nigeria
The Presidency's Statement read thus:
"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."
The Presidency also acknowledged it had received the said letter.
