Barely 24 hours after making public a damning letter to President Goodluck
Jonathan, former President Olusegun Obasanjo rushed into a breakfast
meeting with the President who was attending the 50th Independence
Anniversary Celebration in Kenya.
Obasanjo had made public a strong worded letter to President Jonathan in
which he accused the President of not just destroying the country but also
training a killer squad.
It was gathered that former President Obasanjo shocked many when he
appeared at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi just as some aides to the
President were still discussing the controversial letter amongst
themselves.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that the former President whose letter
caused political stir tried to use the breakfast meeting to placate
President Jonathan into disregarding the effect his missile letter might
have caused.
Our source who would not want to be named said as soon as the former
President arrived the Intercontinental hotel, Nairobi where President
Jonathan was staying, he went into humor, trying to pretend as if
everything was fine.
According to the source, “Baba came and in his usual self tried to be
humorous while on the breakfast table with the President. He appeared as
if nothing had happened but the truth of the matter is that, this time he
would be shocked at what would happen.
Pointblanknews.com gathered that President Jonathan felt seriously
slighted by the decision of former President Obasanjo to release such
letter to the public and has vowed to retaliate.
“Mr. President would not take this one lightly. He is going to expose Baba
and all his hypocrisy and Nigerians would be shocked,” a source who was in
Kenya with the President said.
The source noted, “Baba’s strategy is to first embarrass the President in
the public and then come in the private to pretend all is well. But this
time, that strategy would not work, it has failed already as Mr. president
is bent on giving him the same bitter pills.”
