Reactions have continued to trail the purported letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Jonathan that was leaked to the media, as a coalition of Civil Society Organizations has said that the letter was borne out of malice and was capable of causing political tension in the country.

Addressing Journalists on Friday, the National Coordinator of Nigeria in Safe Hands, Kennedy Tabuko said that the tone and content of Chief Obasanjo’s letter betrayed his alleged deep-rooted resentment for President Jonathan and mischievously written to ridicule the President.

Kabuko said that Nigerians should be mindful of their utterances and actions which apart from having a boomeranging effect on the nation, could provoke unnecessary political tension and strife.

Commenting on the former President Obasanjo’s allegation that the Jonathan’s administration lacks the courage to fight corruption and that corruption stinks in his government, the Nigeria in Safe Hands Coordinator said that the former president was hypocritical and that it was during his government that ‘Ghana-must-go’ syndrome became popular.

“Let us not forget that Obasanjo is so far the longest serving President/Head of State in Nigeria, being the only man that has been a military Head of State and civilian President. The establishment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission by Chief Obasanjo also helped to reinforce the confidence in Nigerians that Chief Obasanjo was sincere about tackling corruption” he added.

Uzor said it was nonsensical for somebody to sit down somewhere and tell the President not to contest election, adding that Nigerians were tired of few persons determining the fate of others and also tired of using the country for experiment.
