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.
