Iyabo Obasanjo writes Father, Accuses Him of Having Egotistic Personality
It appears Nigeria is
gradually moving into a new era where all political deeds are no longer hidden
but exposed via open letters. Barely one week that former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo took a swipe on Jonathan’s government in an open letter, Obasanjo’s daughter,
Iyabo, has equally written an open letter to her father, disclosing that she
would never be in talking terms with him (her father) again. Iyabo had
described her father as a man with different faces, who is bent at manipulating
situations at all times. She said her father was mischievously witch-hunting
President Goodluck Jonathan due to his (Obasanjo) insatiable and inordinate
quest for power and relevance.
