In Church, Jonathan Attacks Obasanjo Again by ctman(m): 6:27pm On Dec 27, 2013
President Goodluck Jonathan has again hit
back at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying he and his like do not own Nigeria,reiterating that Nigeria does not belong toany politician or group of politicians.
In his remarks at Christmas Day service held
at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life
Camp, Abuja, the president, who was
obviously unhappy over Obasanjo's 18-page
letter accusing his administration of
corruption, promoting ethnicity and
engaging in anti-party activity among others,
said those beating the drums of war should
take a look at crisis bedeviling countries like
Syria, Egypt, South Sudan, DR Congo,
Pakistan and the like and see the effect of
war and terrorism.
While thanking the clergy men for their
constant prayers, which, he said, has so far
helped to save Nigeria from plunging into
war, urged them not to relent. He stated that
despite the numerous challenges his
administration was forging ahead and
striving to deliver what Nigerians duly
deserve.
Re-echoing the message of Primate of the
Anglican Communion, Nicolas Okoh,
Jonathan said even in time of peace,
neigbouring countries surrounding Nigeria
were already uncomfortable with the
number of Nigerians in their territory,
saying that if not for diplomacy, a lot of them
would have sent them packing.
He therefore, called on Nigerians to cherish
the peace they are currently enjoying and
not to do anything to rock the boat.
President Jonathan said: "For us at this time,
especially we the politicians that think we
own this country, we begin to think about
next elections and doing what we ought not
to do, making statement we ought not to
make, writing letters we are supposed not to write"
