Jonathan Insults Obasanjo Back Over Self Serving Highly Provocative Letter. by Nobody: 8:39pm On Dec 11, 2013
The Presidency have reacted to the letter written by ex President Olusegun Obasango accusing Jonathan of betraying the mandate of the Nigerian people who voted him to power, and had, instead, been pursuing selfish, personal and political interests based on 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.

President Jonathan and Gen. Obasanjo (Rtd)
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.”

So swift to hear and react to any criticism but slow to deliver the dividends of democracy!

Instead of the President to tackle the issue in the letter, he is deciding on tackling the tissue that sent the letter.

The content is what we need you to react to, not the container!

Jonathan has been the most inept, reckless, useless, unpatriotic and corrupt president Nigeria has ever had.
