Afenifere chieftain, Mr. Yinka Odumakin has described Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan as nothing but the manifest of a coup in the making.
Odumakin who spoke on Channels Television said the content of the letter suggests that the generals including Obasanjo and Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, Gen. T.Y, Danjuma whom he copied have met to piece their thoughts together, warning that Nigerians must take their destiny into their hands and not allow Obasanjo and the other generals to drag the country into another military era.

“All they try to do since 1996, they take the country and resolve it their own ways; we should not allow that to happen. Nigerians must take charge of their country. We must not allow Babangida and his group of generals to provide solution to this country. They want to seize our tomorrow. These coup people when they come, they make their good speech and when they come, they do worse. Don’t allow, Obasanjo and Babangida to take our destiny. Nigeria must stand on their feet and take their destiny in their own hands”, he said.

He said the military is usually very good in pointing out errors but end up becoming worst than ever. For him, Obasanjo is good at manipulating events in his interest pointing out that the Abeokuta general does nothing in the interest of the nation but for selfish reasons.

While urging the President to react to the allegations which he described as grievous, he added that Nigeria is in grave danger if the allegations are true. He described the letter as an attempt by Obasanjo to launder his image, adding that for every finger Obasanjo pointed to Jonathan, the rest four fingers point back at him.

He noted that Obasanjo squandered billions on his third time agenda and that Obasanjo who assured the generals who brought him forward to run as President that he would do only one term as condition to run reneged on his vow only to run for a second term and attempt a third term, wondering why he is championing integrity when he lacked none.

“Obasanjo’s actions are always predicated on ulterior motives, Soldiers catch in on the mood of the nation to hatch an agenda”, he said adding that the way attacks on the President occurred suggest that Nigerians are being programmed ahead for an eventuality, with Tambuwal kicking off the attack, followed by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi only to be rounded up with Obasanjo’s letter, he said and warned the nation to be weary of the grand plot.

He said that nobody knows what happened in the NNPC during the eight year that Obasanjo held sway as President having made himself Petroleum Minister. On allegations of killer squad, the Afenifere chieftain, said the same felon, Obasanjo is accusing Jonathan of using was used by Obasanjo against Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

He explained that it was while Obasanjo was in power that former Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige was killed, and he did nothing about it in addition to Marshall Harry, and Dikibo adding that the letter may be a pandora box to launch an inquiry into some of the murder in the past up to Dele Giwa.

He said that Obasanjo had close to nothing while he was seeking office only to amass stupendous wealth after eight years on the throne, with a university to crown it up.

He said it is an irony that Obasanjo and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who called themselves thieves on television as a result of fraud in the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) have become allies in speaking about corruption. He said Nigeria will be in great trouble if they allow Obasanjo to become the heart of the nation.

He said the motive of the letter is suspect adding that Obasanjo’s letter will not set Nigeria on the right part. He said the letter was the handiwork of former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fanikayode. Also speaking, the former aviation minister said Obasanjo’s letter signified the end of the Jonathan regime, calling on Nigerians to look beyond the messenger

If na my brothers now, dem go call you a traitor for daring to have a differing view!

Insincere 9igerian, how market? I understand what you are passing through. Money no easy to come by! The yoruba people u dey abuse everyday has suddenly become your source of relief

Ok

While urging the President to react to the allegations which he described as grievous, he added that Nigeria is in grave danger if the allegations are true.

That's only sensible part of his talk, the rest is utter rubbish.



Mr. Goodluck Corrupt Jonathan should provide a comprehensive response to OBJ's apprehensive observations and allegations.

Yinka Odumakin is another sycophant in the making. Is he seeking for a political appointment from Jonathan or is there something he's trying to achieve?

Approved!, OP do the needful!

A nairalander had this opinion last week but his thread was deleted. Now watch this make front page. Why nairaland has the utmost disdain for the opinion of its members, I don't know.

I have no problem with yoruba people. The people I have problem with are Tinubu slaves like you and I know you'r not yoruba. Chris Ngige, Joe Igbokwe et al are all Tinubu slaves and they'r not yorubas. Meanwhile, Face the topic.

It is even mentally depressing, having you as my brother Onye ngbu!

That is the irony of NL and an issue Seun must address.

And you are baba peace slave.

Of course no brother of mine would dare reason like you. Better accept your roots before it is too late.

Yinka Odumakin captured it so well. Only idiots and self serving apes would believe the sincerity behind Obasanjo's letter. It's now obvious that the man is attacking GEJ because he has lost control of the man. That is a welcome development because no sane Nigerian would want an OBJ puppet as a president.

To obj, 'majority' of Nigerians are wiser thus not easily fooled like in the past. You had the chance to transform this milky great 'nation' but choosed the opposite.u are a shameless and disgusting old fool and deserved to be stoned for trying to taint the image of Nigerians best president.

It is a fact beyond contention that Obasanjo's motives are far from altruistic. Like others who exist in the background waiting for the right moment to pounce, his disenfranchisement as the "alpha and omega" of Nigerian politics, in recent years, is partly what informs this 18-page letter.

Having acknowledged the foregoing, do Nigerians have a right to expect a credible response from the Presidency which disabuses minds about the grave allegations made? Absolutely! At a time when there are hawkish elements encircling, and with an eye fixed on other truncated democratic processes, nothing short of a point-by-point rebuttal will do.

OBJ’s Letter: Presidency Must Respond To Allegations – Odumakin

The spokesman of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin on Friday called on President Goodluck Jonathan to respond to allegations made against him in former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s open letter which has caused a nation-wide outrage. He also called for a thorough examination into Obasanjo’s motive in writing the 18 page letter.

“We need to hear the presidency on the content of the letter; some allegations that have been raised are very grievous and if its true Nigeria is in danger”.

Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr. Odumakin mentioned that “in terms of the allegations, we must look at them critically, I agree with Obasanjo that Jonathan is not doing anything about corruption, if he is, Obasanjo won’t have mentioned it”.

However, Mr Odumakin questioned Obasanjo’s 8 year regime as president and minister of petroleum, adding that activities of the NNPC during his tenure remain hazy.

Referring to Obj’s letter, Mr. Odumakin accused Obasanjo of not doing anything when a seating Attorney General was killed (Bola Ige).

“There was nothing that was done to bring the killers of Bola Ige to book,” he said.

Over the years, several murders have been linked to the state and are yet to be resolved, he said, adding that “If Obasanjo is making these allegations to the presidency, then the president owes the nation an explanation”.

According to Odumakin, the controversial letter marks the beginning of a fact-finding phase for Nigerians as “the link between Nigerian states and the killings of citizens” will be made known.

I just love this eGuerrilla guy, I like proofs and counter proofs

People like Odumakin have changed my views about yorubas. I had thought that all of them are as daft as Tinubu and his APC e-rats.

OBJ and his fellow owners of Nigeria are scared that Jonathan might not STOP Nigeria from disintegrating.

Jman06: People like Odumakin have changed my views about yorubas. I had thought that all of them are as daft as Tinubu and his APC e-rats.

i have insulted and assulted yoruba peeps to much on this forum and i ask for forgiveness. I thaugt they are all thieves and smelling mouth peeps like tinubu and his e-rats.

Thank God that our brothers from the west are now coming out to speak the truth about the motive of these mod slingers. The messenger and the message are on point.

lol.. It's good that some of them are changing our views now.

Afenifere chieftain, Mr. Yinka Odumakin has described Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan as nothing but the manifest of a coup in the making.

A coup will probably lead to a counter-coup and more counter-coups and a final closure on the country called Nigeria.

chi 3280: Yinka Odumakin is another sycophant in the making. Is he seeking for a political appointment from Jonathan or is there something he's trying to achieve?

the message not the messenger.

He noted that Obasanjo squandered billions on his third time agenda and that Obasanjo who assured the generals who brought him forward to run as President that he would do only one term as condition to run reneged on his vow only to run for a second term and attempt a third term, wondering why he is championing integrity when he lacked none.

Perhaps Obasanjo thinks that discerning Nigerians are suffering from amnesia.

he said adding that the way attacks on the President occurred suggest that Nigerians are being programmed ahead for an eventuality, with Tambuwal kicking off the attack, followed by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi only to be rounded up with Obasanjo’s letter, he said and warned the nation to be weary of the grand plot.

The online lynching of the President was well coordinated and very suspicious.

Issorai

He said that nobody knows what happened in the NNPC during the eight year that Obasanjo held sway as President having made himself Petroleum Minister.

....and he (OBJ) gave an oil block to a hairdresser.

On allegations of killer squad, the Afenifere chieftain, said the same felon, Obasanjo is accusing Jonathan of using was used by Obasanjo against Otunba Gbenga Daniel.

The killer squad (snipers) allegation against the President (GEJ) was really a turn-off. The country trains special ops officers in different countries overseas including countries where Abacha must have trained some officers while he was President. As the boko-haram crisis rages on in the country (North-East in particular), it is not unexpected that some security officers will be sent to secret and special military and counter-insurgency trainings.

He explained that it was while Obasanjo was in power that former Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige was killed, and he did nothing

And Obasanjo is quick to accuse the President (GEJ) of condoning injustice.

He said that Obasanjo had close to nothing while he was seeking office only to amass stupendous wealth after eight years on the throne, with a university to crown it up.

Perhaps he (OBJ) got a bank loan to finance the University. Otherwise ..........!!!!!

He said it is an irony that Obasanjo and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar who called themselves thieves on television as a result of fraud in the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) have become allies in speaking about corruption

The records are still available.
