Obasanjo's letter to Jonathan: Atiku Urges IBB, Abdulsalami, Ekwueme, Danjuma, Others To Speak Up

By -
ABUJA- FORMER Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged former Military President Ibrahim Babangida, former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, ex- Vice President Alex Ekwueme and others whom former President Olusegun Obasanjo copied his letter to President Goodluck Jonathan to speak up.

According to Atiku Abubakar, although he was not competent to speak on the letter because he was not privy to the communication, he however said that General Theophilous Danjuma and others leaders who were consulted by the former President before the publication of the letter shouul intervene and reduce what he termed, the tension created by former President Obasanjo’s weighty allegations.

In a statement issued by his media office in Abuja, former Vice President Abubakar said like every other Nigerian, he was nervous about the allegations made by the former President and that those elders mentioned by Obasanjo had a moral duty to add their voices to the issue.
According to the former Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the allegations were too disturbing to be treated with apathy by any political stakeholder like him, adding that at a moment of national anxiety or uncertainty, leaders across the country should rise to the occasion and reassure fellow Nigerians about the future.

He explained that at a time the rest of the world was looking at Nigeria as a beacon of hope for stability, the content of Obasanjo’s letter should be urgently addressed by former leaders and elders.
According to Atiku Abubakar, with the attention of Nigerians focused on the 2015 elections, there was the urgent need to reassure Nigerians, adding, “Our priorities for Nigeria are forging lasting solutions to our chronic unemployment, providing safety and security for all, and vastly improving our failing education systems. President Jonathan’s government has consistently failed to address these critical concerns.

“That said, it is on record that I have firmly fought for a democracy where the voters choose their future leaders, not political party bosses. If the incumbent President insists on continuing to destroy his own party with vindictive internal wars and thinks his record of rising youth unemployment, never-ending violence, corruption and scandals is worthy of another term, then he is welcome to run. We are confident Nigerians will exercise their democratic right to choose new leadership in 2015.”
Former Vice President Abubakar said with the attention of Nigerians focused on the 2015 elections, there was the urgent need to reassure Nigerians, adding that the President was free to run his government without interference, but said sometimes even sitting Presidents needed outside constructive interventions to move the country forward.
