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.
