The allegations were too
disturbing to be treated with apathy by any political stakeholder like me. At a
moment of national anxiety or uncertainty, leaders across the country should
rise to the occasion and reassure fellow Nigerians about the future,” Atiku Abubakar
“But the president and the
people of the Villa must also not stoop to be replying all these things. He has
taken people who are very trained in polemics. When you want to hire people to
work for you, you do not take people because of their ability to be crude or to
deliver polemics on people. No! Prof.Jubril
Aminu
“It is a very serious
allegation and it could set the whole country on a state of alert and anxiety
because, for somebody, which invariably is the mentor of the current president,
to have made these very serious accusations, it sends an alarm bell ringing,
which could be troubling to every rational citizens. I am, indeed, very
troubled,” Prof.Itse Sagay
‘’President
Jonathan would be doing a great disservice to himself if he considered the
content of the letter as insulting, rather than taking appropriate action on
the issue discussed.’’ Chief Ladi Rotimi Williams
“Clearly, Nigeria is on
the verge of liquidation and if you place over 1,000 people on watchlist and
you are going to use snipers to eliminate them as the president of the country,
then that is very grave for this country’.’Monday Ubani.
“He
should play a fatherly role. There is no need to answer or reply Obasanjo. That
was exactly what he was doing till (Sani) Abacha put him in jail. The same
style. He has started again.
“I don’t think he has advisers. If he has, they
will call him to order. Yes, I respect him, as a former president, he has
contributed to the sustenance of democracy. Even in the military, we know all
that, but power is transient,” Alamieyeseigha
“It is not malicious, self
serving or hypocritical. Obasanjo has spoken the truth, he brought in Jonathan
and has the right to advise and correct him if he veers off the path of honour
as he is now doing.” Abubakar Tsav
“On the issues of
Jonathan’s body language for a second term, I think the former president is
also wrong, because he didn’t only spent two terms in the office, he attempted
a third term, which was truncated,” Yinka
Odumakin
“The president should find
the courage to personally answer the charges and address the message rather
than get his aides to attack the messenger. As Baba said, Jonathan is bleeding
Nigeria to death. It is time for change.’’ Femi Fani-Kayode
“President Jonathan cannot
forget about the 2015 general election; he has the right to contest. All
Nigerians should encourage the president to seek re-election in 2015 to fix the
many woes of the country, caused by former President Obasanjo who is today
asking President Jonathan to forget 2015,” Niger
Delta Indigenous Movement for Radical Change
“Several issues raised in the letter,
including oil theft, lack of accountability and corruption, have been debated
by Nigerians, hence Obasanjo only increased the noise level,”Isa Aremu
“Obasanjo, therefore, has
no moral right to criticise Jonathan, though things are bad with this
government. He should keep quiet and allow people with integrity to talk,” Debo
Adeniran
‘’It is my THIRD time of reading former President
Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to President Goodluck Jonathan. Sincerely, those who
have been calling Obasanjo's names because of that letter should go and hide
somewhere. Obasanjo wrote well, deep from the heart about TWO things he is
passionate about - Peoples Democratic Party and a united Nigeria that is
well-respected abroad.’’ Wale Adedayo
‘’Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to Mr. President has raised lots of
questions on security, trust, corruption,good governance, which Mr.president
need to answer we Nigerian on affirmative, if he is truly the President of the
federal republic of Nigeria.’’ Omoba Toba Omidele
“The UAD notes that corruption has remained
institutionalised in Nigeria as a patronage mechanism of the ruling elite to
foster their control over the economy and polity.
“With the recent rating of Nigeria as the 33rd most corrupt
country in the world by the Transparency International, the brazen faces of
corruption continue to disrupt national development.”Baba Aye
