Though the constitution allows freedom of speech, a patriotic Nigerian should audit whatever he wants to utter. If Obasanjo has an up-to-date file about Nigeria, he should know that for years he was our president and head of state in military uniform. What achievement Obasanjo record throughout his tenure as the head of state and president?

Personally, I believe there is no justification for his words to Muhammed Buhari, because he performed very well as governor and head of state, also when he was appointed as the chairman of the Petroleum Tax Fund (PTF).

Nigeria loved his administration but some people with hideous agenda, I mean those who wanted to drain Nigeria are always against his administration. Therefore, Obasanjo should not team up with such group of people.

A patriotic Nigerian understands that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is responsible for the present economic situation of the country, which Obasanjo is part of.

Instead of joining hands to look for way out, you have the time to write a letter to Mohammad Buhari.

On the scoreboard, as a president and head of state, Buhari has 95 per cent while you, Obasanjo, scored 45 peer cent. As an elderstateman, this is the time to lay down good example for the younger generation.

Obasanjo should address all the problems created by past administration and help set up a new Nigeria for the common people to be responsible for their family and the nation.

At this juncture, it is not too much to remind you of the incident of 1978 Alli Must Go, Obasanjo-Must Die (Nationwide student riot) which terminated the life of many students.

Nigerians should be watchful. Cat and rat are of the same family; therefore, their mission in any house is unique.

The association of treasury looters are always looking for one way or the other to escape the sword of Damocles.
