Obasanjo’s spokesman, Tunde Oladunjoye, told newsmen today at the hilltop residence that Obasanjo will not further trade words with Jonathan, nor dignify his letter with a fresh response.
“I will maintain my serenity, because by this letter I have done my duty to you as I have always done, to your government, to the party, PDP, and to our country, Nigeria”.
Obasanjo in envisaging Jonathan’s response had clearly stated what his position will be: he will play mute.
In a statement on Monday, his spokesman said:
"Since the publication of the letter written by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, which was in response to the letter earlier written by the revered former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, we have received several requests from local and international media, asking to know Chief Obasanjo’s reaction...
"Chief Obasanjo acknowledges Mr President’s letter/response, however, Baba as he already indicated in his December, 2, 2013, letter does not wish to make further comments beyond the contents of his last
letter to Mr President or react to the said letter/response from Goodluck Ebele Jonathan."
