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,
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:
‘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’. more after the cut.....
“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.”
