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.”
