Obj/Goodluck Meet In Kenya..Throws Banter At Each Other

 

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday met behind closed doors in the  Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya.

The meeting held less than 24 hours after an 18-page   letter Obasanjo    sent to Jonathan went public.

Both leaders were in Nairobi for  Kenya’s  50th independence anniversary which was held inside the Safaricom Stadium.

The former President had in the letter accused Jonathan of  condoning corruption and engaging in acts  that were capable of destroying the country.

Before  the event, Obasanjo had made an  appearance at Jonathan’s hotel on a day the  media were awash with the letter  titled “Before it is too late.”

The former President’s arrival was said  to have been heralded by the surprise visit to Jonathan by Obasanjo’s daughter identified simply as Funke.

A source said that a few minutes after that, Obasanjo arrived to the surprise of Jonathan’s aides.

The source added that the ex-President, in his usual humorous manner, said, “Mr. President, I have come to pay homage.”

According to him, they   talked briefly over breakfast  after which  Obasanjo jokingly said, “Mr. President, permission to go ahead of you.”

Our source said Jonathan replied with “Permission granted,” amidst laughter by the two of them and their aides.
