‘dear Baba’: Jonathan Writes Obasanjo, Seeks Blessing For New Foundation by omenka(m): 7:12pm On Oct 17, 2015
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has written to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, seeking the latter’s blessing for his next public engagement: the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, and pledging to spend the rest of his life making the world better place.

The foundation will advance Mr. Jonathan’s interest in human development, peace and security, the letter, which begins with the endearing greeting,

“Dear Baba”, said.



The letter was written on a letterhead which says “The Office of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria 2010 and 2015.”

In it, he informs Chief Obasanjo that following his handing-over of power to President Muhammadu Buhari, he proceeded on a “long deserved break.”

“Now well-rested, I am back to work to continue to serve and dedicate my life to promoting peace and prosperity for all,” adding that he has set up an office in BayelsaState where he can be reached, and his staff are prepared to serve Chief Obasanjo and respond to his enquiries at any time.




“Furthermore, I will be devoting the rest of my life and energy to making the world a better place. I am currently finalizing efforts to set up The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation. More details on the work of the Foundation will be available at the launch, which I believe should take place by the 3rd quarter of 2016.”



He said he looked forward to Mr. Obasanjo’s continuous support, counsel and cooperation.

Given the bad blood that governed the relationship between both men towards the end of Mr. Jonathan’s presidency, the letter seemed to be an attempt at rapprochement with the former president.

SaharaReporters learnt, however, that Mr. Obasanjo responded to Jonathan with a terse letter saying he wishes him good luck in his future endeavors.

Obasanjo and Jonathan had a public falling-out before and during the Presidential elections earlier this year. The acrimonious relationship led the former president to tear his party card openly.

I always feel like killing my enemies but God please give me some of Jonathan's attributes.
This is why Dr Jonathan is revered.
This is why Dr Jonathan is lucky.
This is why Dr Jonathan became a hero in defeat.

No bad bone in his body.

GEJ can make person open teeth.

First of all, go get borehole for your people in Otuoke cos they need water badly. You don't longer need OBJ blessing since you have the support of the likes of the association of witches and wizard, association of hell gate keeper " corrupt wings of CAN " Asari Dokubo and Pa Orubebe.....

Jonathan can be funny.

Oga na master

If Mogidi, Barcanista and their other wailers can think like the Hero they are still wailing for, their life would be free of bad blood by now.
Trust Obasanjo, he has hit his target, so he has no problem with GEJ's future endeavor.
We all wish you Good luck, Mr. Jonathan.

GEJ should rather address his letter to Nigerians, because he caused a lot of hardship to us not OBJ, by the way OBJ doesn't forgive. If u find it dim to write apology letter to us, kindly advise your fellow offenders to surrender our stolen money and let them know that stealing is now corruption under this current dispensation.

Nobody knows what to make of this. If it is an act of humility , it is a little overdone.The Jonathan Presidential library and UN assignments are not in competition with Obj or Abdusalami's. Obasanjo's blessing is not required for anything Jonathan does going forward.
It is a all a little too overdone

If homo is legalise all over the world, I will accept Jonathan against
Obama as my partner. The love I have for him is just too much.

A man who personally averted the disastrous plan by US to break
Nigeria in 2015 and saved many life that would have be killed.

I love you Jonathan #nohomo

Kudos to the great Democrat of our time.
GEJ should continue to be a model for democracy and how a. Leader should be. I am very sure OBJ will not attend because of ego problem. GEJ lost and commend the winner but OBJ during his time spent money energy and time to lobby for a failed third term bid.
If OBJ likes it or not, GEJ has moved on and is not angry with anyone.
GEJ my hero!!!
