REVEALED: REAL REASONS Why Obasanjo Is Fighting Jonathan

Jonathan has continued to generate ripples with a
chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
Prince Buruji Kashamu alleging that the former
president took on the president for selfish reasons.
Obasanjo had in an 18-page letter dated December
2, 2013 accused President Jonathan of taking
actions detrimental to the unity and progress of the
country.
The ex-president in the damning letter accused
Jonathan of training a killer squad, encouraging
corruption and pursuing an inordinate ambition. The
letter also contained allegations of connivance by
the Presidency with persons Obasanjo adjudged as
discredited and criminal, including Kashamu, his
loyalist until recently.
In an interview granted in Lagos on Friday,
Kashamu dwelt on his relationship with Chief
Obasanjo and why they fell apart. He revealed how
the former president used him as a foot soldier to
gain control of the PDP structure in his home state,
Ogun before the 2011 general elections from the
sitting governor, Gbenga Daniel who had fallen out
with Obasanjo.
According to Kashamu, shortly after taking over the
reins, Obasanjo instructed his loyalists not to
support Jonathan because the president was not
favorably disposed to him.
“When took the PDP structure from Daniel,
Obasanjo called us one day and said we should not
work for Jonathan for 2015. We asked why and he
said Jonathan doesn’t listen to him; Jonathan
doesn’t take instructions from him and Jonathan
tells him lies. And we asked what kind of lies?
Obasanjo said when Gbenga Daniel locked up the
Ogun State House of Assembly during the crisis
involving the lawmakers, Jonathan was in China
and called him to say the action was unacceptable,
that within 24 hours the Assembly would be re-
opened. Obasanjo said despite the promise, the
Assembly remained locked for two months. That in
his own state it was an insult to his integrity. He
was boiling with anger that day. He vowed that
Jonathan would not spend more than one term in
office. That he would fight President Jonathan to the
end.”
