tried to control and teleguide him, but he also asked him
to do a number of things that were simply wrong and
unacceptable.
Needless to say Jonathan refused to be teleguided and told
what to do even though at all times he showed Obasanjo
maximum respect and accorded him all the privileges,
access and courtesies that is due to a former Head of State
and a father and mentor.
Yet Obasanjo could not be appeased and was not satisfied.
As far as he was concerned, he must either control
Jonathan or Jonathan had to go.
That is why he decided to secretly support the APC and
became their 'navigator- in-chief'. He was determined to
pull the whole house down rather than allow Jonathan to
return to power. This is simply because he believes that if
he cannot control someone, that person must be
destroyed.
President Obasanjo spoke about President Gbagbo and he
claimed that President Jonathan was attempting to do a
Gbagbo in Nigeria. The question that must be put to him is
this:
'Who got Gbagbo out?' Was it not Jonathan's government
that played a key role in ensuring that democracy was fully
established in the Ivory Coast and did he not play a key
role in ensuring that the Gbagbo plan to ''stay in power
forever plan'' did not 3
If anyone doubts this they should ask President Alhassan
Outtara of Cote d'Ivoire the role that Jonathan and Nigeria
played in helping to restore democracy and stability to his
country.
"They should also find out the role that Obasanjo played in
attempting to keep President Gbagbo in power at all costs
and the deep friendship that exists between the two men.
Must Obasanjo rule every government by proxy? Must
every leader take instructions from him? Is it a case of ''if I
cannot control you and tell you what to do, then you must
go?
It does not matter what type of government it is as long as
obasanjo controls it and it is headed by his puppet.
It is for Jonathan himself to divulge those things and I am
sure that he will do so at the appropriate time.
Matters arising....
