Why Jonathan is Obasanjo's responsibility- Femi Fani-Kayode‏

Former aviation minister and politician, Femi
Fani-Kayode has called it former president,
Olusegun Obasanjo’s responsibility to rid
Nigeria of President Goodluck Jonathan –
because he imposed the latter on Nigerians.
“He more than anybody else has the
responsibility- if he doesn’t want to be judged
harshly by history to ensure that Goodluck
Jonathan does not come back in 2015,” he
said on Sahara TV.
According to his remarks, monitored by
SaharaReporters.com, he said of the former
president: “This is a man I’ve known for the
past 11 years. He is not the type of man that
will say something that he doesn’t mean”. Mr.
Kayode said he believes the letter was written
out of deep concern for the country.
On the alleged 1000-man hit list referred to in
the letter, Mr. Kayode said he believes Mr.
Obasanjo speaks with conviction and that the
government has been challenged in the letter
to deny the allegation.
Mr. Kayode who describes himself as a close
associate of the former president however
opted not to comment on a letter that made
the rounds after the fabled letter purported to
be written by Obasanjo’s estranged daughter
Iyabo Obasanjo. “These are personal issues
which do not in any way concern me”, he said.
Mr. Kayode said Mr. Obasanjo is father of the
nation and has stood up to speak in crucial
times when nobody had the temerity to do so.
 He debunked any suggestion that Mr.
Obasanjo was considering unseating President
Jonathan saying the former President is totally
committed to democracy. He said Obasanjo’s
aim is to protect democracy by ensuring that
the president acts in a “sensible democratic
manner”.
Speaking on another letter written by Central
Bank Governor Lamido Sanusi, Mr. Kayode
commended the governor for exposing the rot.
In the letter, Mr. Sanusi claimed that about
$49 billion which was supposed to be
deposited with the bank has not reached the
exchequer. He however suggested that Sanusi
should have resigned his position as a matter
of principle.
He also said that the APC’s bid to unseat the
Jonathan government should include an
alliance with power brokers like Obasanjo.
“You cannot be serious about winning power in
Nigeria without talking to an Obasanjo or a
Babangida or all these people”,  he said. He
also said PDP is likely to rig the Osun and Ekiti
State as well as the 2015 federal elections but
If that happens people are likely to take
matters into their own hands.
