Obasanjo Laughs off Clark's Letter: Says He wont Reply Crooks
The attempts by Ijaw leader EK Clark and Asari Dokubo to drag
ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo's name on the mud over his 18-page letter
to his boy, President Goodluck Jonathan, will not get the desired
result.
A credible source in Obasanjo's camp says that the former President, who is now more focused on building peace across Africa, has said he wont exchange words with a former Federal Minister who was caught in fraud and his assets confiscated by the Murtalla Muhammed government.
Obasanjo on Tuesday said he is not losing sleep over the attacks from Ijaw people as he already stated in his letter that Jonathan is now being seen as an Ijaw president rather than a Nigerian president.
Insisting that he was not at war with Jonathan, Obasanjo said he was unfazed by the letter written to him by Clark and Asari, as well as the rantings and abuse by the President’s aides.

Speaking to Punch through Mr. Tunde Oladunjoye, his media aide, Obasanjo
said he was ready to meet with the PDP Board of Trustees members, over
his reported feud with the President for the sake of peace.
Insisting that he was not at war with Jonathan, Obasanjo said he was unfazed by the letter written to him by Clark and Asari, as well as the rantings and abuse by the President’s aides.
Mr Oladunjoye said “I was with him (Obasanjo) this (Tuesday) morning in
Abeokuta for about five hours. He received some visitors. He was full of
life. He was in high spirits. He was playing Ayo game. He bears no one no grudge.
“After being with him for about five hours, he told me, ‘Tunde I want to go and sleep.’ That means he has not lost sleep, regardless of abuse, rantings and insults. If I am to use his words, I will tell you that Baba still dey kampe.”
