Obasanjo Entertained Gossips Like Jonathan — Utomi by lalasticlala(m): 8:14am On Dec 21, 2014
A former presidential aspirant, Prof. Pat Utomi, has said ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo is also guilty of some of his allegations against President Goodluck Jonathan.

Utomi said just like Jonathan, Obasanjo also entertained gossips from those around him.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, titled ‘Obasanjo and the Burden of History, Utomi noted that he was erroneously rumoured to be a member of the Alliance for Democracy during Obasanjo’s administration.

The post read in parts, “Obasanjo’s duty as a statesman is negatively affected by a tradition of lack of charity in dealing with others, which today makes it easy for people who should recognise truth when it comes from him dismiss him as acting in character without charity.

“I had the pleasure of being part, indeed, head of the policy advisory team that worked with candidate Obasanjo in 1998. As President, he lapped up all kinds of gossips stemming from my critical views on matters.

“Obasanjo is not wrong in his accusing Jonathan on the quality of people around him for gossiping. The irony is he is guilty of same.”

The foremost economist pointed out that only a few men in Nigeria had been given easy passage to immortality by circumstances as Obasanjo.

Utomi, added that, “His lack of charity manages to be a flaw that seems determined to consign him to a sad footnote in history.

“Still, this does not mean his voice should be ignored. In his moments, he speaks great truth to power and he understands Nigeria better than most. He should not be ignored.”

There is no leader in the world that doesn't entertain gossips. In fact, you get some of the most important intel from such gossips. But what makes a good leader is how he separates the wheat of the gossips from the chaff, and that is where Mr President is grossly lacking.

You are right Utomi. But the question is "Were the So-called gossips true" ?
We now know why Odua didn't go to jail
We now know why Patience is a godfather
We now know why Allison Maduekwe feels like a goddess

Jonathan is a weak president. Doesn't know how to manage other's excesses. Doesn't know how to take action. Him and Shagari are the weakest leaders Nigeria ever had.

its unfortunate we don't teach history in our schools, we would have developed a culture of remembering the past.
I still remember how Thugs that had his blessings kidnapped a sitting Gov in Anambra state..
And burnt down a couple state infrastructure..
Comparing Jona and Obj is like comparing Sleep to death.
Its unfortunate Trolls on Nairaland be twisting the truth and events, and spewing propaganda just to futher the selfish cause of their principals .

PLEASE SHARE: The 5 Biggest lies President Goodluck Jonathan has told Nigerians.
https://www.nairaland.com/2053010/5-biggest-lies-president-goodluck

1. "..If I'm voted into power, within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement, and if I can't improve on power within this period, it then means I CANNOT DO ANYTHING EVEN IF I AM THERE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS" - Goodluck Jonathan, Vanguard newspaper, 2011
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/02/i-ll-not-contest-2015-election-jonathan

2.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12339017

3. “The excesses of Boko Haram must stop. That is the decision of this present government now. It must stop, whatever it will cost the government, it must stop. The military intervention in the affected states is going on well. There is no human rights abuse and there is no collateral damage with regards to security of individuals. I am optimistic that with the level of success already being recorded, the emergency rule in the affected states may not last up to the six months stipulated by the Constitution,” Goodluck Jonathan, 2013
http://www.punchng.com/news/boko-haram-must-be-defeated-at-all-costs-jonathan/

4. "I believe that the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end of terror in Nigeria. We will surely bring their daughters back." President Goodluck Jonathan on Chibok girls May 2014
http://m.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27328003

5. “Over 70 percent of what are called corruption, even by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and other anti-corruption agencies is not corruption, but common stealing. Corruption is perception, not reality,” the President said during his 7th Presidential Media Chat

Entertaining gossip is an inherent trait in humans. Man is a selfish animal as I was told in GS206 back in school.

yes obasanjo is no saint
But
Obasanjo is bad but Jonathan is badder than the baddest.
Obasanjo is worse but Jonathan is worded than the worsest.

Don't write this English in school or you may spend 8 years in primary school.
