The heat is on and the only way out is to beg ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo not to make more revelations on what is going on in the corridors of power so as to continue to keep Nigerians in the dark on issues.
Consequently, President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday met behind closed doors with Chief Obasanjo in the Intercontinental Hotel in far away Nairobi, Kenya. The meeting held less than 24 hours after an 18-page letter Obasanjo sent to Jonathan went public and is still generating a lot of serious reactions.
Obasanjo had in the letter accused Jonathan of condoning corruption and engaging in acts that were capable of destroying the country.
Two of them were in Kenya for the country’s 50th independence anniversary. Before the event, Obasanjo had made a surprise appearance at Jonathan’s hotel on a day the media were awash with his strong-worded letter titled “Before it is too late.”
Some of those who had insulted Obasanjo, including Reuben Abati, were shocked to see the same Obasanjo and Jonathan having breakfast, chatting and smiling.
Jonathan later apologized to Obasanjo for not replying his previous letters to him and promised to change. He also assured the ex-President that he is still loyal to him, no matter what some of those working under him may say about Obasanjo.
