Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written a harshly-worded letter to President Jonathan, accusing him of condoning high-level corruption, promoting ethnic schism and deceiving Nigerians.
Obasanjo also alleged that an Abacha-style assassination squad was being trained and weapons being amassed to target 1,000 Nigerians whose names were on a political watch list, ahead of 2015 general elections.
He said Jonathan had promised to him and other Nigerians before the 2011 elections that he was going for one term only, and therefore advised him to keep to his words.
An apparently frustrated Obasanjo also lamented that President Jonathan had discredited himself by polarising the country along religious and regional lines, undermining his political party, becoming clannish and scaring away foreign investors.
The 18-page letter, titled ‘Before it is too late’, was dated December 2, 2013, and leaked on the Internet yesterday, sparking a furious debate online.
