Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to beware of some of his aides who are confusing him and making more enemies for him in the pretext of doing their jobs.
“Obasanjo did not mince words in telling President Jonathan the bitter truth. He told him clearly to beware of some of his aides who are making life difficult for him through their unguarded utterances that are making more enemies for him”.
He also advised Jonathan to start running an inclusive government so as to douse tension in the ruling PDP.
Obasanjo gave the advice during one of the marathon meetings held on Wednesday, shortly after he returned from Ibadan for the continuation of the peace meeting he was having with PDP governors in the presidential villa. Some of the governors and party chieftains, including some members of Jonathan’skitchen cabinet, were in attendance.
Obasanjo was also said to have reconciled with Jonathan over the endless political feud concerning the 2015 poll after the latter reportedly tendered an unreserved apology to Obasanjo, who vowed to discourage any aggrieved governor from defecting to the opposition.
According to a credible presidency source, both Jonathan and Obasanjo have met not fewer than four times over their differences and the one between the aggrieved PDP governors and Tukur. The source added that it was the process of restoring normalcy to the party that forced the president and Obasanjo to bury their differences in order to save Jonathan from defeat come 2015.
The fear of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is the reason Jonathan begged Obasanjo to intervene.
