Obasonjo vs Goodluck
The ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party, [PDP] is not supporting President Goodluck Jonathan on his attack on former President Olusegun Obasanjo, especially through aides.
According to PDP, Obasanjo may not be perfect in his actions or utterances, but Jonathan must tread softly because of the personality of the man in question[obasonjo]
A member of PDP National Working Committee of the party, NWC who
spoke on condition of anonymity, said that President Jonathan must not underate
the powerful influence of Obasanjo among the northern part of Nigeria,stating
that it was unecessary for the President
to take on Obasanjo.
The NWC member said the President
should not allow his aides to create enemity between him and the Obasonjo,
saying that exchanging words on the pages of newspapers with the former
President was uncalled for.
The NWC member,who stressed that
Jonathan was not properly advised to take on Obasanjo,
especially against the backdrop that he benefited from the former President,
said: “We are concerned about this feud between the President and former
President Obasanjo. The President must watch it. It is dangerous for him
to take on this man,[obasonjo] who is very close to the northern oligarchy.
“Jonathan should rather speak with
him as a father because of his second term ambition.If at all he is intrested.
This is not the time to start fighting men like Obasanjo.
Nevertheless, the National Secretary
of the PDP, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and National Publicity Secretary, Chief
Olisa Metuh, have said there was no problem between the former President and
Jonathan.
If the it was to be a serious quarell,who will lose and who will win??
