Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Tuesday said he
was not losing sleep over recent attacks on him by presidential aides and a
former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin
Clark, because of the letter he wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Obasanjo, who spoke through
his media aide, Mr. Tunde Oladunjoye, also said he was ready to meet with the
Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees members, over his reported feud
with the President.
Insisting that he was not at war with Jonathan, Obasanjo said
he was unfazed by the letter written to him by Clark and the
rantings and abuse by the President’s aides.
The Ijaw national leader had in his letter dated January 3,
described the former President as an unrepentant troublemaker, liar
and manipulator.
In the 10-page letter titled, ‘Let The Truth Be Told Before It Is Too
Late, Clark said, “Mr. former President, I will also like to
use the language of your daughter, Iyabo, to describe you to Nigerians.
“You are ‘a liar, manipulator, two-faced hypocrite…. You have
egoistic craving for power and live a life only men of low self-esteem and
intellect thrive.”
But Oladunjoye said that Obasanjo was not disturbed by insults and
abuses being hauled at him because of the December 2, 2013 letter to Jonathan.
The media aide said, “I was with him (Obasanjo) this (Tuesday) morning
in Abeokuta for about five hours. He received some visitors. He was full of
life. He was in high spirits. He was playing Ayo game. He
bears no one no grudge.
“After being with him for about five hours, he told me, ‘Tunde I want to
go and sleep.’ That means he has not lost sleep, regardless of abuse, rantings
and insults. If I am to use his words, I will tell you that Baba still
dey kampe.”
On the plan by the PDP’s BoT to settle the rift between Obasanjo and
Jonathan, he said that the ex-President had received the BoT members in the
past, adding that he was ready to receive them again.
Oladunjoye said, “I want to tell you that Chief
Obasanjo is not at war with anybody, including President Jonathan.
“He has always maintained that his doors are open to all Nigerians,
regardless of political affiliations. If members of the BoT decide to visit
him, it will not be the first time. If he is in the country, he will receive
them.”

Obj no get shame at all for body.
ReplyDeleteThis OBJ of a man should just go and rest for God's sake. He is becoming an irritant to people's skin and psych. Must he respond to everything?
ReplyDeleteDon't u know dt a man who can sleep with d son's wife can never have shame in is life.
ReplyDeleteObj is not bothered by ur rants.EEE DEY KAMPE.
ReplyDeleteOBJ bit more than he could swallow with his letter to the president. His expectation to ridicule Goodluck, backfired against him; embarrassing, dis gracing and exposing his atrocities. As a former general he knows when to RETREAT
ReplyDeleteTime and future shall tell who is better between GEJ and OBJ. People insulting other people old enouugh to be there father should learn manners.
ReplyDeleteOBJ as a matter fact shld go nd rest. U don do ur own, let other ppl 2 do their own.
ReplyDeleteObj- pls act like an elder that u are and stop d confusion. Thanks
ReplyDeletePeople should learn how to use words. Even GEJ that OBJ wrote a letter to can not call the man a stupid man. But the Stooges and Sycophants are now crying louder than d berIeved.
ReplyDeleteRaph are u there.. Just passing sha.
ReplyDeleteRalph is silent bcos he has seen them failing. Hahahahahahaha
DeleteRe:8:47am na so Ɣõu̶̲̥̅̊r grandpapa nor take get shame to sleep wit mama or na so Ɣõu̶̲̥̅̊r fada nor take get shame to sleep wit his son's wife? Obj is a demon bcus demon nor dey shame
ReplyDeleteIt is quite unfortunate that people could come out to insult OBJ. All the allegations in OBJs letter are all tenable. With the current arms being discovered in Rivers, obj is vindicated. JonathN and his Ijaw kinsmen should see obj as their god. The monumental corruption and oil theft from the millitants is an apparent indication of Jonathan's failure and therefor should return to Utuoke after 2015 . Ask Jonathan who gave Asari Dokubo money to build university in Cotonou. Failure.
ReplyDeleteWhen Asari started making money GEJ was not at d corridor of Power. Go and make ur analysis and. Tell us were OBJ, Buhari, Tinubu, Amaechi got their money 4rm?
DeleteAnonymous 2:40 , you are a liar. Asari had never worked any where. He is a millitants oil bunkerrer which is punishable under Nigerian law. He should be probed if Jonathan is serious with fighting corruption .
ReplyDeleteAsari and other Niger delta militants were raised and nurtured by politicians to win elections @ all cost, in the words of OBJ do or die. Ateke Tom, Tom polo n co are protegees of Amechi n Odili. Even OBJ cldnt contain dem. That was why the govt of YarAdua gave dem Amnesty and contracts. Asari is a free man under the law, though I don't support his ways. If u have evidence as against him as this is a serious charge pls channel it 2 the proper quaters.
DeleteOfuchi, God bless you. Time and future will teach ignorant people lessons and expose d evil in Nigeria.
DeleteGEJ is serious in fighting corruption that's why GEJ has started probing OBJ (aka the grandfather of corruption). Baba iyabo should "explain details” of the allegations he made in his opun letter to GEJ and while at that Baba Iyabo should also tell nigerians the true story of questionable waivers of signature bonuses between 2000 and 2007. And baba iyabo should tell nigerian about the siemens and Halliburton scandals before he settle any rift with GEJ.
DeleteHmmmmmm,God said in d bible dat my people perish bcause of lack of knowledge;OBJ may be corrupt too but we are talking abt d bigest maggot ever witness in d history of Nigeria & dat is Jonathan;he is a criminal to d core & can assure Jonathan will never stay beyond 2015 cause he willl be voted out of power,he shud keep sponsoring some fools to be taking his side on d media n on TV programmes even on d daily news paper but wen d election comes he will know he is not popular at all
