Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd) and
former Minister of Defence, Gen Theophilus
Danjuma (rtd), have berated former president
Olusegun Obasanjo over his open letter to President
Goodluck Jonathan, describing it as being capable of
breaching the peace in the country.
The duo stated this yesterday at the 6th edition of
the Abuja Festival of Praise, hosted by Danjuma, at
the international Conference Centre, Abuja.
In a goodwill message, Gowon warned Nigerians,
especially leaders, against making utterances
capable or breaching the peace of the country,
noting that it was important for leaders, past and
present to take heart not to say things that can bring
about problems as all Nigerians will suffer if there is
no peace in the country.
"I will like for Nigerians to please take heart to
ensure that taken are not taken to do what they
should not do.
Let all Nigerians, leadership and followership make
sure that we do not make utterances or say things
that can really create problems for the leadership
and for the country because if that happens, if we
listen to such utterances, there shall be no peace
and we will be the sufferers for it.
"I want all of us as faithful to bear in mind that this
country needs peace and this peace can only come
from all of us, the leadership, past and present and
from all of us. We must play our part to ensure that
there is peace in the country," he emphasised,
stressing that the message became pertinent in view
of recent happenings in the country.
Similarly, Danjuma in his goodwill message noted
that even though he was mentioned in the letter, he
had refrained from making comments to the press
about it, insisting that he has unfettered access to
the president and will speak with him "face to face"
if he has anything to say to him.
"The press have been after me, they want me to
react to what Obasanjo said about Mr President and
I told then that I have complete and I impeded
access to the president and if I have anything to say
to him, I will do so face to face.
These are very difficult times and we must be
careful, especially as leaders, what we say in public,"
he added.
Delivering a goodwill message on behalf of President
Goodluck Jonathan, Minister of Police Addairs, Navy
Capt Caleb Olubolade (rtd), emphasised that prayers
and songs of praise can save the nation and give
hope for a greater nation.
"I strongly believe thy prayers and songs of praise
like this can save the nation and give hope for a
greater tomorrow in Nigeria, the land the good Lord
has given to us.
As we labour in our bid to build a greater Nigeria of
our dream, a few elements struggle to destroy and
disunite us.
Why? My prayer as a child of God is for the collective
salvation of our souls and for those few elements to
repent before the judgement of God comes," he
added.
Earlier in a welcome address, Gana, who is the
chairman of the festival planning committee noted
that praising God can bring peace to humanity,
especially to Nigeria in view of the current security
and political crises.
He urged Nigerians to be at peace with one another
during the yuletide season to foster the unity of the
country as the nation is going through a trying
period.
