Two groups working for President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday called for the immediate arrest of a former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, over his letter to President Goodluck Jonathan alleging some irregularities in government.
The groups, PDP Reloaded and Arise Nigeria, alleged that majority of the issues raised by Obasanjo in his letter happened during his regime both as military head of state and as civilian President.
Leaders of the two groups, Chief Richard Lamai(PDP Reloaded) and Chief Jasper Johnson (Arise Nigeria), who spoke at a press briefing in Abuja, also extolled the leadership qualities of President Jonathan.
They wondered why the former President could resort to writing letters when he could call the President or visit him at any time.

They noted that Obasanjo must have the list of the alleged 1,000 politicians listed for elimination by the Federal Government in preparation for the 2015 general elections and that because of this, he should be invited by the security agencies.
The statement partly reads, “It is in this regard that we call on the nation’s security agencies to invite Obasanjo to help them unravel the mystery camp where the snipers are being trained and the list of those earmarked for elimination.”
However, a former deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State, Mr. Tunde Oladunjoye, dismissed those calling for the arrest of Obasanjo as political jobbers and profiteers, who the former President would not dignify with a response.
Oladunjoye, in a telephone interview on Tuesday, explained that Obasanjo expected Jonathan to respond to the letter, stressing that he (Obasanjo) would not bandy words with anyone over it.
He said, “Obasanjo will not react, join issues or bandy words with anybody or groups. He has written an open letter and what he expects is for President Jonathan to respond to the contents and carry out what he highlighted in the letter.”

But some major issues which OBJ made mention of in that famous letter should be addressed...

Freedom of information.
And GEJ shouldn't always see his critics as enemies or criticism as an insult.
