Sagytarius:

There is a claim that she (Iyabo) met with the Vanguard staff before the letter was published.
Moreover,
I am not reacting to the presence of signature in the document (or lack of it) par sei. Rather, I'm faulting your support for @superstar1's assertion that "...signatures are usually appended to pdf docs too". Hence, I asked u that earlier question.
My point is: signature or no signature, the news could be real; it could also be fake.

IT COULD BE REAL BROTHER.

BUT COULD BE EASILY DENIED AS IT IS NOT AUTHENTICATED BY THE WRITTER.

SIGNATURE IS A POWERFULL TOOL THAN WE ARE TAKING IT.

NO COURT OF LAW WILL ACCEPT THAT DOCUMENT AS AUTHENTIC.

YOU AND I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE IN THIS CASE.

I PITY VANGUARD NEWSPAPER, WHO IN ZEAL OF BREAKING NEWS FAILED TO DO THINGS RIGHT.

IF YOU CALL IYABO, AND SHE ACCEPTED BEING THE WRITER, WHY NOT TELL HER TO SIGN THE SPACE SHE HERSELF CREATED FOR SIGNATURE. IT IS A SIMPLE THING. OBASANJO COULD BE RICHER IN BILLIONS THROUGH THIS BIG BLUNDER FROM VANGUARD.

HOPE YOU HAVE SEEN THE PURPORTED LETTER.

I don't care who writes it as far as I am concerned and as a true Yoruba son, it is not in our culture to insult an elder or write something as gross as this against an elder no matter what the elder has done.I respect elders so that one day I would grow to be one and also get respected.On that note u repeat anyone either Iyabo Obasanjo or any other person or group or people that fabricated this letter is doom for life, pains, sorry, sadness, stagnacy,bitterness and all bad things of this life is already the portion of that person permanently.Àrọ ti rọ mọ,épé ti ko ni yi pada ni.It's sealed

Re: I Did Not Write Any Letter To My Father-iyabo Obasanjo by DerideGull(m): 3:42pm On Dec 18, 2013
Nigerians should pay little attention to whether Iyobo Obasanjo wrote the alleged letter or not. They should focus on the message of the letter. Everything said in the letter or even did not say is unquestionably true.

The same folks that informed us to focus and deliberate on the contents of alleged OBJ’s letter to GEJ instead of the messenger are now telling us to forget the alleged letter from Iyob to her father. Certain section of Nigeria is known for double-talk and the presence of letters allegedly from the Obasanjos has reconfirmed a strait we already know about the people.

Ok. All of your shouting she did not write the letter, is Segun Osoba who has collaborated the letter lying. See below:


[b]By Saharareporters, New York

Former Governor Segun Osoba of Ogun State who is also a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed that he met Iyabo Obasanjo, the daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, during his trip to the United States in September 2013. Recounting his chance meeting with Ms. Obasanjo to SaharaReporters, Chief Osoba said he was in the United States for the 73rd anniversary of the Nieman Foundation Fellowship when he ran into Iyabo, a former senator in Nigeria. The former governor told SaharaReporters he was staying at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge when he had a chance encounter with the daughter of the former president who told him her car was parked in the hotel’s basement parking lot.

Chief Osoba said that, after the meeting, Ms. Obasanjo went downstairs to get her car and then drove him to the offices of the Nieman Foundation Center where he had an event. He said commute took close to an hour, leaving plenty of time for a long conversation between him and former President Obasanjo’s daughter.

Speaking further, Chief Osoba disclosed that Iyabo expressed exactly the same sentiments about her father contained in her letter that was just published by SaharaReporters. According to the former governor, Ms. Obasanjo stated that her father would divide the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) more than it was then after his so-called intervention in the party. He said Ms. Obasanjo also stated that she had no plans to return anymore to Nigerian politics, a sentiment she expressed in the acerbic letter to her father.

Chief Osoba added that, after his return from the US, he met former President Obasanjo a month later at the 80th birthday party of Chief Adedoja Adewolu and told him of his encounter with Iyabo in Massachusetts, including her view of his intervention in the PDP. Former Governor Osoba said he strongly believed that his discussion with Mr. Obasanjo might have prompted the former President to tell his daughter to run on the platform of the APC, another revelation made in her letter.

Former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo wrote an 11-page letter to her father which she sent to Lagos-based Vanguard newspaper. In the letter, she described her father as a liar, manipulator and a hypocrite. She also characterized her father as a wife-beater and abominable father.[/b]

An educated and exposed person such as Iyabo would have sent a letter of rebutal to Vanguard first and then would have gone to a 'tv' station to air the truth.

Come on guys, why would she choose a radio station to rebute such a grave claim? If truly she did not write that letter, I believe OBJ by now would have taken her by the hand to a tv station to say so.

Just my thots though. Cause this politicians are equaly magicians.

DerideGull: Nigeria is filled to brink with bunch of fools. The cross section that now believed Iyabo Obasanjo did write the alleged letter to her father had already believed that OBJ wrote the alleged letter to GEJ when OBJ has not said a word about the letter. Yet rumor had it that OBJ had a get together with GEJ in Kenya few days after the existence of OBJ’s letter was made public.

It is apparently silly to believe the validity of one letter and disregard another. Nigeria is practical joke.

Mr Oldman, will you ever act your age?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeez.

So in US where you are living your refugee life, that is admissible in court as defence against defamation.


Moreover, that letter does not tell us anything new about OBJ and it contains family expletives. OBJ's letter contains national issues.

When will GEJ respond instead of this dumb lame and cheap blackmail.

No APC chieftain will publicly support Iyabo's letter. OBJ's letter to GEJ is good for APC because it brings negative attention to Jonathan. There is ZERO benefit for APC in supporting Iyabo's letter because it distracts from the issues that OBJ raised.

We shall see. That article is not making much sense at the moment.

While I am not saying that She Did or Did Not write that letter, that Osoba corroborated the events in US is NOT a pointer that she wrote the said letter.

Just as Osoba has stated that he narrated the incident to OBJ, he could have narrated it to so many other persons. Thus the story of their meeting in US though personal, may be known by many people and thus easily put into a fake publication. Besides, to make a lie believable, one should sprinkle in some truths.

My thought too, although it might nat be APC, or maybe, one never can tell as anything is possible in Nigeria. Someone, or some group of peeps may have come up wif da initial flying-letter-news, while they have envisaged this kinda outcome, jez to get their mischief against the government executed.
The above is actually jez seeing other possibilities if the initiator of the letter is not Iyabo (which most likely may not be her).
Albeit, i don't think the presidency will wna cheap in by cooking up immature tactics of this kind. My opinion doh.
