Another open letter: Obasanjo's Daughter writes him, Says He Is a Liar, Manipulator And Hypocrite

Daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Iyabo, wrote an open letter to her father, describing him as a liar, manipulator, two-faced hypocrite determined to foist on President Goodluck Jonathan what no one would contemplate with him as president, and has ruled out further communication with him till death.

This is really turning out to be a season of  open letters.

Part of the letter read, “Like most Nigerians, I believe there are very enormous issues currently plaguing the country but I was surely surprised that you will be the one to publish such a treatise. I remember clearly as if it was yesterday the day I came over to Abuja from Abeokuta when I was Commissioner of Health in OgunState, specifically to ask you not to continue to pursue the third term issue.

“I had tried to bring it up when your sycophantic aides were present and they brushed my comments aside and as usual you listened to their self-serving counsel. For you to accuse someone else of what you so obviously practiced yourself tells of your narcissistic megalomaniac personality.  Everyone around for even a few minutes knows that the only thing you respond to is praise and worship of you. People have learnt how to manipulate you by giving you what you crave. The only ones that can’t and will not stroke your ego are family members who you universally treat like shit (sic) apart from the few who have learned to manipulate you like others.

"Dear Daddy, you don't own Nigeria... I pray Nigeria survives your continual intervention in its affairs... I found that nothing gets done; every public official in Nigeria is working for himself and no one really is serving the public or the country.... The whole system, including the public themselves wants oppressors, not people working for their collective progress. When no one is planning the future of a country, such a country can have no future..."

"This is the end of my communication with you for life..."
