An eminent Professor of Law, Itse Sagay (SAN), has branded former president Olusegun Obasanjo “childish and immature”, for making his letter to President Muhammadu Buhari public.

Obasanjo in the letter released by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, had expressed worry over the high level of insecurity in the country.
Sagay, speaking to the Nation, however, agreed with the points raised in it.
“As far as I’m concerned, Obasanjo’s main motive is publicity, the capacity to embarrass the President, and for adulation.
“He sustains a mentality of being superintendent-general of Nigeria and not accepting that he is no longer in power. It’s all part of it.

“What he said could have easily been communicated by phone; the letter could have been delivered privately. I find writing it to the whole country immature and childish. He made a serious point, and then spoilt it by the way he presented it.
“If he had said it quietly to the President, it would have been acceptable. Is he not embarrassed that he’s the only former president doing it? Gowon and Abubakar are there, just to mention two.

Even Jonathan, who was defeated by Buhari, is there. It’s too childish and immature. It takes away from the quality and the strength of the message he’s trying to deliver,” he said.

Sagay also urged Buhari to sustain efforts in tackling rising insecurity.
“Is the President not already doing that? Can he be the President and not be concerned? Already, the Vice President has spoken of steps being taken – that the roads are going to be heavily monitored by the Police and soldiers.
“I don’t disagree too much with Obasanjo on substance. It is his style that I disagree with, as well as the so-called conference of ethnic stakeholders. I don’t see its relevance. We’ve held so many other conferences out of which nothing came except mutual abuse and insults.
“I think what the President should do is to sustain a very vigorous onslaught and not rest until the bandits and insurgents are rooted out and Nigeria is made safe again.
“He is already doing it and he must sustain it so that we can be free of this menace to our freedom and peace of mind,” Sagay added.

Thank You Sagay.. This is what many Igbos here failed to comprehend

David871:
That great

Scam alert

I actually don't think he is

So OBJ addressing matters of national importance is now ego seeking? Sagay is always talking rubbish as usual.

Ever wonder why with Sagay as PACAC chair advising Mr."corruption-Integrity" on corruption, the putrid corruption umder the APC has never decreased an inch but Nigeria's corruption rating have continued to worsen.

This is evident with the recent quashing of the Senator Danjuma Goje's corruption case with the EFCC via the office of the AGF.

Sagay is working tirelessly to elevate his status and be appointed as the minister of information instead of that petty commission he is heading

Between you and OBJ who only advised the failed Buhari to protect Nigerian lives who is childish ?

So APC sees Nigerians lives as child's play

This Sagay man is the most un-cultured, yet "educated" elder in Nigeria. Lie Mohammed lies and attaches passion to convince you. Sagay just says anything... without even thinking. He seems to have forgotten his status in the society. He can do without this government, why then is he so petty in reactions? This man yeye o.
