Olusegun Obasanjo Denies Letter To Jonathan

Ex-President Olusegun
Obasanjo yesterdaydenied writing
President Goodluck Jonathan
to remove some chief executives. He
described the story, published exclusively by
The Nation yesterday, as a figment of the
imagination.
Obasanjo spoke at the presidential wing of
the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos. He
was on his way overseas.
He arrived at the presidential wing in a
three-car convoy, accompanied by his friend,
Dr Femi Majekodunmi.
The former president flew a private jet with
registration number N169SD, which took off
at about 10.40 am.
Obasanjo said: “I have not written to the
President since his inauguration. I think
probably I wrote to him last year on
honours and awards for some Nigerians. So,
if any newspaper has written that, it’s a
figment of their imagination and I will refer
it to my lawyers and they will hear from my
lawyer. The Nation stands by the story, the
editors said yesterday. The bromide of the
letter is published on page one.
Obasanjo also spoke on the security
situation in the country, saying:
“Well, I don’t think anybody needs to be an
oracle to make any pronouncement on
security situation. It must be the concern of
all of us. It is my own concern as a Nigerian
because without security in the country,
then, there is not much we can do. So, there
is a need for peace and security for
development and progress in the nation.
