finally summoned enough courage to pen a reply to
Olusegun Obasanjo's letter.
GEJ took his time to explain to the former President
in details by addressing every question/allegations
he raised in his letter titled "Before it is too late".
Read the letter below:
December 20th 2013
His Excellency,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR
Agbe L'Oba House, Quarry Road,
Ibara, Abeokuta.
RE: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
I wish to formally acknowledge your letter dated
December 2, 2013 and other previous
correspondence similar to it.
You will recall that all the letters were brought to me
by hand. Although both of us discussed some of the
issues in those letters, I had not, before now, seen
the need for any formal reply since, to me, they
contained advice from a former President to a serving
President. Obviously, you felt differently because in
your last letter, you complained about my not
acknowledging or replying your previous letters.
It is with the greatest possible reluctance that I now
write this reply. I am most uneasy about embarking
on this unprecedented and unconventional form of
open communication between me and a former
leader of our country because I know that there are
more acceptable and dignified means of doing so.
But I feel obliged to reply your letter for a number of
reasons: one, you formally requested for a reply and
not sending you one will be interpreted as ignoring a
former President.
Secondly, Nigerians know the role you have
played in my political life and given the
unfortunate tone of your letter, clearly, the grapes
have gone sour. Therefore, my side of the story also
needs to be told.
