"OBJ has finally closed GEJ's chapter with his letter.
Jonathan is finished- mark my words. Abati should shut up and let his boss
speak for himself on this one.
The Ebora Owu has spoken and the issues that he has raised are too serious to be ignored or to be responded to with amatuerish and cheeky insults and slurs from a mere staff of the Presidency.
The President should find the courage to personally answer the charges and address the message rather than get his aides to attack the messanger. As Baba said, Jonathan is "bleeding Nigeria to death". It is time for change.
God used Obasanjo to put Jonathan in power and, by His grace, He will use that same Obasanjo to remove him."

Just in case you missed the report from premium times
which claims to have obtained an 18-page
letter written by an angry and frustrated former president Olusegun Obasanjo to
president Jonathan, accusing the current president of 'ineptitude and of taking
actions calculated at destroying Nigeria.'
“Nigeria is bleeding and the
hemorrhage must be stopped,” Mr. Obasanjo said in the 18-page letter titled
“Before it is too late” dated December 2, 2013
In the letter Obasanjo said President Jonathan
has 'failed to deliver on his promises to Nigerians, stem corruption, promote
national unity and strengthen national security.Below is Reuben Abati,Special Adviser to the President responds to OBJ's 18-page letter titled which
warranted Femi Fani-Kayode telling Reuben Abati to shut up
We have noted the publication on several websites today of a letter recently written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. The Presidency acknowledges that it has indeed received the said letter from Chief Obasanjo.
We however find it highly unbecoming, mischievous and provocative that a letter written by a former Head of State and respected elder statesman to President Jonathan has been deliberately leaked to the mass media in a deplorable effort to impugn the integrity of the President and denigrate his commitment to giving Nigeria the best possible leadership.
While many patriotic, objective and well-meaning Nigerians have already condemned the leaked letter as self-serving, hypocritical, malicious, indecent, and very disrespectful of the highest office in the land, President Jonathan has directed that none of his aides or any government official should join issues with Chief Obasanjo over it. The President himself will, at the appropriate time, offer a full personal response to the most reckless, baseless, unjustifiable and indecorous charges levied against him and his administration by the former Head of State.
