We have noted the publication on several websites today of a letter recently written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. The Presidency acknowledges that it has indeed received the said letter from Chief Obasanjo.
Continue after the break.We however find it highly unbecoming, mischievous and provocative that a letter written by a former Head of State and respected elder statesman to President Jonathan has been deliberately leaked to the mass media in a deplorable effort to impugn the integrity of the President and denigrate his commitment to giving Nigeria the best possible leadership.
While many patriotic, objective
and well-meaning Nigerians have already condemned the leaked letter as self-serving,
hypocritical, malicious, indecent, and very disrespectful of the highest office
in the land, President Jonathan has directed that none of his aides or any government
official should join issues with Chief Obasanjo over it.
The President himself will, at
the appropriate time, offer a full personal response to the most reckless, baseless,
unjustifiable and indecorous charges levied against him and his administration
by the former Head of State.
