(SEE CONVERSATION) JONATHAN CALLS OBASANJO BEGS HIM ON PHONE

Exclusive information coming from the Presidency is pretty sensational...
President Goodluck Jonathan has telephoned former President Olusegun
Obasanjo to deny responsibility for promoting a controversial member
of the Peoples Democratic Party, Buruji Kashamu, as an influential
party leader in the south-west geo-political zone.
Jonathan told Obasanjo that he had never met Mr. Kashamu before and
never instructed anyone to accord the controversial Ogun State poli
tician a special or preferential treatment in the party.
"Baba, believe me, I don't know Kashamu,"our sources quoted Mr.
Jonathan as saying."I think it is the chairman (Tukur) that knows him.
Personally, I have nothing with him. But I will ask chairman (Tukur).
"Kindly consider your decision again. The PDP belongs to us all and we
need to correct whatever is wrong together."
The president then promised to "hear from" Tukur, and to "do
something" about the matter, those informed about the discussion told
Premium Times.
In his response, Obasanjo was said to have explained to Jonathan his
frustration at explaining to world leaders how an alleged criminal,
wanted by the United States, ended up as a leader of Nigeria's ruling
party.
Three separate presidential aides, who do no want to be named for fear
they might be sanctioned, however confirmed details of the
conversation between Jonathan and Obasanjo.
When contacted, Obasanjo's spokesperson, Tunde Oladunjoye, said he had
no permission from his boss to confirm the details of his private
conversation with Jonathan.
