Obasanjo says he will not react to President Jonathan's letter

Former President Obasanjo says he will not react

to President Jonathan's letter. He released a media

statement today through his Media aide, Tunde

Oladunjoye, saying he has accomplished his aim

of bringing President Jonathan's attention to

important national issues and has nothing else to say to him! 

 The statement read, 

“Since the publication of the letter written by

the President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,

which was in response to the letter earlier

written by revered former President Olusegun

Obasanjo; we have received several requests

from local & international media asking to know Chief Obasanjo’s reaction to Mr.

President’s response. “One, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,

acknowledges Mr. President’s letter/response.

However, Baba, as he already indicated in his

December 2, 2013 letter, does not wish to

make further comments beyond the contents

of his last letter to Mr. President or react to the said letter/response from Dr. Goodluck

Ebele Jonathan. Let me quote from page

fourteen, paragraph two of Chief Obasanjo’s

letter to Mr. President dated December 2,

2013 and titled Before It Is Too Late: Continue... ‘I will maintain my serenity, because by this

letter I have done my duty to you as I have

always done, to your government, to the

party, PDP, and to our country, Nigeria’. “Two, let me reiterate here, that Chief

Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR has tremendous

respect for the office of the President of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 Chief Olusegun

Obasanjo sincerely appreciates all of you, my

cherished colleagues; gentlemen and women of the media profession, who have been very

upright, ethical and robust on the subject

matter.”
