President Jonathan has said Obasanjo is still is
father despite his criticisms towards him.
Speaking to Tribune editors he said
First and foremost, Obasanjo is a father to
me. By divine providence and the grace of
God, I am the President of Nigeria today. It
is not by my strength. But God uses human
beings to actualise His own blessings on
human beings. And He used so many
Nigerians, including former President
Obasanjo, to play one role or the other for
me. (Continue)
“I became the deputy governor of a state,
became the governor, the vice president
and president. I have no issues with him,
and I really don’t want to join issues with
President Obasanjo. I think it is not
necessary.”
“But I will use this opportunity, because
you asked, to just plead with my father that
he is a leader, a former president of the
country. He has led the country more than
anybody — eight years of democratic
governance and almost four years of
military governance. No other person has
that kind of record.
“So, actions and inactions, or utterances,
should be guarded so that we don’t expose
our country to the international
community as if it is a country in danger, a
country that is about to collapse. You are
frightening investors, especially those who
invest hot cash, to pull out their money
from the country and that would affect the
stock market and it would affect the
economy.
“For one reason or the other, Obasanjo
may disagree with me as his first political
son. You can even disagree with your own
biological children, as a human being, not
to talk of disagreeing with your political
children. So, he can agree or disagree with
me, but the utterances have to be managed
in a way that it does not affect the
economy and security of this country.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
