For over ten days now the polity has been
suffused with the verbiage of the letter written
by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to
President Goodluck Jonathan. The latter has
been under pressure to respond to the issues
Obasanjo raised in his letter.
And for a while, it seemed the silence from the
presidency implied consent, or that the
President was too dazed by the vitriolic
content of the letter to respond. But yesterday,
the President broke his worrisome silence,
when he called a press conference and read
out a lengthy reply to the Ota farmer. To be
fair to President Jonathan, he tried to clear
the fog on some of the issues, but not without
throwing some jabs here and there at the
former president.
I captured some, yes, some of the details in
the response of the President. He started like
this:
“His Excellency Chief Olusegun Okikiola
Matthew Obasanjo, former President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
You must have wondered if I did not know
what to reply you after you published what
has become your latest act of infamy, in the
name of a letter titled “Before it is Too Late”
which you wrote to me.
Sir, I must confess that your letter took me
unawares. As a respected Statesman, I did not
expect this unbecoming means of
communicating with me, if the essence was
not to play to the gallery.
The other confession I must make is that some
of the issues and accusations you made
against me, were complete news to me. I have
long set up committees to investigate the
accusations and the reports are already
coming in.
Before I deal on the specifics of your letter,
permit me to say that, Sir, you must purge
yourself of the overflowing messianic complex
you have always operated in. Yes, I had said
that after God and my parents, you are the
next most important person in my life.
But that did not mean you are my God or the
provider of my oxygen. When goats are sold,
the owner releases the rope. But you have
chosen to hold on to the rope most
tenaciously. That is the problem.
Indeed, we would have ignored you completely
after your dear daughter, Dr Iyabo Obasanjo-
Bello, helped to put most of the issue in the
right political perspectives in her own letter to
you. But we needed to do this for the records.
I am somewhat disappointed that you are
lamenting my performance in government. His
Excellency, I am sure we would have moved at
a faster pace if the right foundation was laid
while you were in charge.
As for the issue of whether or not I will seek
re-election in 2015, I am bemused that you
are making a huge drama out of this even
when you know I am constitutionally permitted
to seek re-election. I cannot remember the
incidents of my said promise not to seek re-
election. But even if I did sir, am I not entitled
to change of mind on any issue depending on
the currency of information available to me? I
do not expect you to be basing your
conclusions, at your level, on the so-called
fantasy of Body language.
And pray, were we not all witnesses of how
you tried to manipulate the National Assembly
to offer you the illegal third term chance?
Senator Ken Nnamani is still alive.
It is pure mischief powered by uncharitable
inclinations to accuse me of “double game’ in
the support of gubernatorial candidates in
some states. I personally participated in the
campaigns of all our candidates. If they lost
the elections, I cannot be blamed for that, as I
am resolved to distance myself from
manipulating electoral outcomes as it used to
be in the past… you know what I mean
You made me look like the prince of corruption
because of the ancient malaise of crude oil
theft. Sir, it did not start with me. I have tried
to combat it. There are many committees and
task forces in place to check the roguery.
Besides, it is even exaggerated under me. Did
you not hear that the garrulous CBN governor,
who raised the false alarm of missing $49.8
Billion has eaten the humble pie by recanting?
But sir, with all sense of modesty, this does
not compare with the degree of sleaze that
characterized the PTDF scam between you and
your former Vice, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. We
did not forget. We have reformed the EFCC to
be an indiscriminate fierce attack dog, unlike
when it was reduced to a weapon against
enemies.
As for the crisis in the PDP, we know of
supposed elders who have been fraternizing
with the renegade governors, the reason they
were recalcitrant and irreconciliable. You can
only force a horse to the river, you cannot
force it to drink water. These renegade
governors simply refused to drink water at the
bank of reconciliation.
I am a Knight of the Anglican Church. I have
never plotted to shed blood for any reason. No
I have never. Therefore, the phantom alarm of
training of killers are nothing but a tale from
the mountains. Only the naïve are taken in by
them. God will judge such accusers harshly.
By the Grace of Almighty God, I will finish well
and strong. My good people of Nigeria are
behind me, contrary to what you may wish to
think. I have told the Christian Association of
Nigeria (CAN) and Jama’atu Nasril Islam
(JNI) to ensure that they announce national
fasting of forty days and forty nights to thwart
all the plans of the enemies of Nigeria, no
matter who they are.
That they must declare that no weapon
fashioned against Nigeria, be it from Boko
Haram or whoever, will prosper.
Finally, let me assure you that the
transformation agenda of my government has
been attracting international investors and in
no time, the entire nation will soon become
one large construction and industrial yard. We
shall all be witnesses.
Please accept my best assurances of …”
Just as the President finished reading the
letter to pressmen, his spokesman, Dr Rueben
Abati , looking agitated with creases on his
forehead, stepped out to co-ordinate the
question and answer session, as over a dozen
hands were already up, desirous to fire follow-
up questions at Mr President.
Abati was just announcing the modality of the
question and answer session, when the loud
blast of a heavy duty truck woke me from my
deep sleep, as my house is by the roadside.
As I sprung up, I was looking for President
Jonathan, asking breathlessly, “where is he,
where is the president?”, and my children
began to ask if I was alright. It was only then
I realized I have been dreaming. Thisdaylive
