The
Presidency has issued a statement to address speculations raised in the media yesterday
that President Goodluck Jonathan intends to probe the Obasanjo Administration.
Here
is the press hand-out.
The
Presidency is constrained to state once again that there is no truth whatsoever
to rehashed reports in the media today that President Goodluck Jonathan intends
to order a probe of the Obasanjo Administration because of the former
President’s “constant” criticisms of the Federal Government.
President
Jonathan remains fully focused on the urgent tasks of assuring peace, security
and stability across the country to create the right conditions for rapid
socio-economic development and will not be distracted from this objective by
futile attempts to drive a wedge between him and other respected elders and
leaders of his party.
The
President has nothing but the greatest respect for Chief Obasanjo’s very
notable contributions to national growth and development over many years and
far from taking offence or seeking retaliation, will always welcome objective
criticism and advice from the very highly-regarded elder statesman.
What
is more, President Jonathan regards his Administration as a continuation of the
unbroken chain of PDP-led governments started by Chief Obasanjo in 1999 which
have worked tirelessly to entrench democratic governance and achieve rapid
socio-economic growth in the country.
Rather
than order a pointless probe of his predecessors, he will continue to do his
utmost best to build on the solid foundations for national progress laid under
previous PDP administrations.
Speculations
and suggestions of an impending probe of the Obasanjo Administration by
President Jonathan are therefore nonsensical and should be dismissed by all
right-thinking Nigerians as the product of the fertile imagination of
mischievous political jobbers.
