“when the head is rotten; the whole body is useless-” Obasanjo to Jonathan

                  
There was a time the unending rift between former President Obasanjo and the current Nigerian President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathn was called the ‘season of letter writing.’ These days, the drum beat of another session is becoming louder. Few weeks ago, Obasanjo rated Jonathan’s regime as ‘below average’, the presidency replied and told Nigerians, ‘Jonathan is the best President ever’.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo took another swipe at his once upon a time political godson, Goodluck Jonathan at a Book Launch, in Abuja. Obasanjo lamented how the current President is encouraging ‘verbal attacks’- which may not physically hurts but has ways of degenerating into physical violence.’ Obasanjo also said; Jonathan is trying to destroy the opposition at all cost. “Management of democracy without resorting to brute force and dictatorial tendencies must be cultivated.
As a leader, you must not deliberately do evil or condone evil. You should know that you will one day give account to God, you may cover up here, but before God, there is no cover up,” Obasanjo said.
He criticized Jonathan’s handling of Boko Haram militants. On corruption, Obasanjo told his audience “ when the head is rotten; the whole body is useless.” The event was the Book Launch to honor of the pioneer chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC, Mustapha Akanbi.
