Nigeria: 2015 - Obasanjo Can't Dictate for Jonathan - - Onuesoke

The Chief Sunny Onuesoke, Special Project Director, Delta State Governor's Office, In interview given on the letter of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo to Jonathan, the vision and mission of Jonathan for Nigerians and his chances of clinching the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, Presidential ticket in 2015. Excerpts:

What did you have to say and your assessment of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to President Goodluck Jonathan?

There is also an element of inconsistency in the letter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Goodluck. According to the report given that  as a former head of state Olusegun Obasanjo , he should not have sent the letter to the media. He was the one that is instrumental and he was one that make straight way and road for to the installation of President Goodluck Jonathan that inconsistency in sense as the former head of state he should not have sent the letter to media.




If Jonathan is doing t right order, the normal thing for him to do is that he would have gone straight to Jonathan to discuss the issue and tell him to adjust his correction and made necessary change not to sent letter to media which is not right proper because his is the one of former head state of Nigerian and he was the one that made the installation of president Goodluck Jonathan on that seat so he should not have sent the letter  to the media . He has access to Aso Rock,He would have gone to him to say my son what is going on and  happening? You are derailing instead of going to the press to whip up sentiment and put unwanted coloration on issues that are not supposed to be issue.

Also according to the report that he is only against him going to the public to sent such a letter which is not right in order as one of the former head state and he also have access to the Aso Rock and He should do the right things by going to him.

According to the report that In the letter, Obasanjo advised President Jonathan not to go for second term. What is your position on that?

According to the report given that It is not Obasanjo that will tell Nigerians that Jonathan will not be contesting as President for second term. It is President Goodluck Jonathan that will tell the 160 million Nigerians and the masses  if he will contest or not and we will believe. Even if Obasanjo had a private discussion with the President that is not an issue before the masses. It is the responsibility of Nigerian masses for Jonathan to consult us.

According to the report given that  He is absolute wrong to say and advised Jonathan should not go for second term. Did he consult anybody before he wanted to go for a third term? Why didn't he wait for the masses to resist Jonathan? Why are Northern elites and governors dictating to Nigerians who is going to be the leader of this country? For Christ sake, it is we that Jonathan should consult and not Obasanjo and few elements. It is unacceptable to Nigerian masses.

According to the report given that Let it be known that I am speaking on behalf of Nigerian masses to make things better in Nigerian. I am not speaking for the elites, the politicians or those in appointment. It is we be the masses that will decide on their choice if Jonathan will contest or not.
