Controversial letter: Group blasts Obasanjo, blames him for nation’s current troubles

A human rights group under the umbrella of Youth and Conflict Resolution Initiative (YCRI), has lambasted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo over his recent letter to President Goodluck Jonathan where the former accused the latter of destroying Nigeria and the PDP. YCRI in a statement signed by its Director of International Relations, Comrade Efemena Agadama said, Obasanjo’s letter was clearly without respect for the office of the President.
Agadama who accepted the fact that it was right to publicly criticise, oppose or discredit a government, however maintained that it is unconstitutional to play tribes against one another or to falsify facts in an attempt to denigrate the office of the president.

According to the statement, “It’s a tragedy of shameful acceptance that the said letter was written by a former president whose government entrenched lawlessness as constitutional order.
“The writer, Obasanjo, should be reminded, if he has forgotten, that it was his government that created all the security problems plaguing Nigeria today. Boko Haram was founded by Mohammed Yusuf, during Obasanjo’s first tenure but he failed to nip it to the bud
