Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, a human rights advocate and leader of the All Progressives Congress has advised Nigerians not to be railroaded into swallowing Iyabo Obasanjo’s letter to her father or misconstruing it to be the response from President Jonathan to former President Obasanjo.
He made the comments speaking to the PUNCH in a telephone interview obtained by The Herald.
Fashakin said, “Should we now take the letter from Iyabo Obasanjo to her father as the response from the President?
“Because, the coincidence is too much, telling us that Obasanjo is not a good father, what has that got to do with our progress as a nation?
“That is at best the business of the Obasanjo family. What Iyabo has written and what Obasanjo has written are two different things.
“(Olusegun) Obasanjo opened a can of worms, is it true that the President has trained or is training 1,000 snipers in North Korea? Because he said it was the same place Abacha trained his own.
“There is no need trying to dance around these issues, let us know the truth. Let us know whether when we go for campaigns now those snipers will begin their work.
“Those are the things we are interested in, not the Presidency using Iyabo Obasanjo to distract us. Does her letter detract from what Obasanjo said in his letter?”
Fashakin said the Jonathan administration instead of trying to distract Nigerians should address the issues raised by Obasanjo and inform Nigerians why Hamza Al-Mustapha was released from prison and if there are indeed snipers on the prowl.
