*Ex-Senate President accuses him of inciting
mob action
Soni Daniel, Abuja
In what appears as an indirect response by
President Goodluck Jonathan to the letter
written him by former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, a pro-Jonathan politician, Senator
Ameh Ebute, Saturday, blasted Obasanjo for
daring to castigate Jonathan for the nation’s
woes.
The former senator accused Obasanjo of
instituting unprecedented corruption in Nigeria
and trying desperately to illegally extend his
tenure for selfish reasons, thereby lacking the
credibility to accuse Jonathan of any
wrongdoing.
Ebute, a one-time Senate President of Nigeria,
responded in an 18-pages letter to the letter
fired by Obasanjo to Jonathan, in which he
accused the president of failing the nation in
several ways and committing blunders that
threaten to destroy the country.
The politician, who did not say whether he
was authorised by the Jonathan or not,
however, wrote as if he was a spokesman for
the Presidency, blaming Obasanjo for the
current problems in Nigeria, which Jonathan
was battling to resolve.
Ebute noted, “As an obsessed letter writer,
Chief Obasanjo may unwittingly view his
tirades against sitting governments as
building a legacy to be celebrated when he
departs; he does not see the effects of
debasement, deformation, destruction,
disunity, hatred and defamation in his actions.
“Selfless leaders with character build peace,
build harmony, build unity and build love.
However, it appears our erstwhile President
has lost it all. Like what Billy Graham said,
“When character is lost, all is lost”.
He said that Obasanjo had no moral grounds
to accuse Jonathan of destroying the People’s
Democratic Party, having himself been
responsible for the crisis currently rocking the
party.
According to the politician, it was Obasanjo,
who planted the seed of discord that is
threatening the party and not Jonathan.
“It is ridiculous that Chief Obasanjo, a self-
acclaimed democrat, should accuse President
Goodluck Jonathan as the one responsible for
the lingering crisis in PDP, which pre-dated
his emergence as the leader of the party”,
Ebute said.
” President Jonathan’s alleged crime is his
refusal to publicly denounce those craving his
return in 2015. Chief Obasanjo further accused
President Jonathan of clandestinely dictating
the actions of the party Chairman, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur. These unsubstantiated
claims posit a curious but intriguing parallel
and calls for self-examination on the part of
the Owu Chief.
“When in 2002, before INEC officially signaled
political activities for the 2003 elections,
posters and propaganda materials adorned all
nooks and crannies of Nigeria for Chief
Obasanjo’s re-election, how many of such
people did he publicly denounce?
” Even when it became open knowledge in
2005 that Chief Obasanjo surreptitiously
attempted to use his cronies to insert in the
output of the National Political Reform
Conference a clause to elongate his tenure for
a third term, since he thought it was only he
who had the single inalienable right to rule
Nigeria for life, did hereunder any public
denial?
“Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has no moral
credentials to accuse President Jonathan of
responsibility for the travails of the PDP.
These crises, as earlier noted, predate the
incumbent leader of the party.”
