Obasanjo Challenges Jonathan, Kashamu, Others To Go To Court by johntousin(m): 11:30am On Dec 17, 2013
Mr. Obasanjo says he would not bandy words with anyone over his letter to President Jonathan, and anyone who feels aggrieved should go to court

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has challenged those dissatisfied with the issues he raised in his now famous letter to President Goodluck Jonathan to take him to court, insisting he would not trade words with anybody on the matter.

Mr. Obasanjo, had in the 18-page letter dated December 2, to Mr. Jonathan accused the president of failing to deliver on his electoral promises, promote national unity, check corruption and strengthen national security.

He also accused the President of planning to renege on his promise to stay for only one term in office and of training a killer squad for the 2015 general elections.

The former president had come under intense criticisms not only for writing the letter, which he titled “Before it is too late” but also for raising those issues.

Mr Obasanjo, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES on Monday through an aide, Tunde Oladunjoye, during a telephone interview, insisted he would not join issues with any one on the controversial letter.

This newspaper had called the former President’s office requesting Mr. Obasanjo to respond to the claim by a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain in Ogun State, Buruji Kashamu, that he (Kashamu) spent a whopping N3 billion to help him (Obasanjo) defeat former Governor Gbenga Daniel during the 2011 elections.

An aide to the former president however referred PREMIUM TIMES to Mr. Oladunjoye, who he said has Mr. Obasanjo’s permission to speak on his behalf.

“Baba will not join issues with Kashamu,” Mr. Oladunjoye said when contacted by this newspaper. “Baba’s letter is very clear. Any individual that is dissatisfied with any part of that letter can go to court, but Baba will not join issues with Kashamu or with anyone for that matter.”

Mr. Oladunjoye then declined further comments, saying that was all he was willing to say on behalf of former President Obasanjo.

He wouldn't have condoned this in his time!
Thank God for a true Civilain Democratic President in the person of GEJ.

Mr President although silence at times can be golden and the best answer to fools, I think at this time a response from you on this maybe necessary, but yet again.. It is your call!
I pray that you have inner peace in all these tumultous moments to weather this storm.

Stop deceiving yourself, OBJ who could not help his daughter win an election can not ''make or break'' President Jonathan. Where was OBJ when the opposition politically dislodge him not only from Ogun his state but the entire South West.
Don't overestimate the power of Obasanjo who was frustrated out of PDP executive by GEJ.

Obasanjo is part of Nigeria's problem not part of the solution

“I see it as laughable. If they say you are wanted for drug trafficking and money laundering and you are saying you spent N3 billion on behalf of someone. Is that not further indicting. If you spent N3 billion, where did you get it from? What kind of investment did you do? Is it legitimate? If you say you made $700 million at the age of 30, how did you make that?


Very laughable indeed...

Good luck Jonathan, should build up a plan and start probing those looters immediately, starting from OBJ and IBB with others. What kind of disturbance is this?, because GEJ said that he is going for the 2015 election, then the entire country should be put ablaze by the self ambitous fools who believed that politics must be reversed on fatherism.
