The infamous 11-page letter which was purportedly written by
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo to her father, former President Olusegun Obasanjo
has been a source of controversy since its publication yesterday.
Some members of Obasanjo’s family has come out to deny that the
letter was written by the senator, while some people close to Iyabo
Obasanjo maintained that the issue raised in the letter are concerns
Iyabo Obasanjo had always had, therefore, only her could have written
it.
A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, who had
initially taken to Twitter to deny the authenticity of the letter on
behalf of Iyabo backtracked, stating that he was confused as to his
initial claim.
He cited various “conflicting reports” as the reason for his sudden
change of posture noting that the supposed letter by Iyabo should not
sway Nigerians from demanding a reply from Jonathan on the sundry
allegations leveled against the President as contained in Obasanjo’s
letter.
Fani-Kayode, a former spokesperson of ex-President Obasanjo, said
there was no need to start poke-nosing into the “privately family
matters” of his former boss, saying he will now rely on whatever is said
personally by Iyabo.
“(I) don’t know what to believe about who wrote the letter to
Obasanjo published by a national newspaper anymore. Let Iyabo Obasnajo
herself talk because there are conflicting reports. I am more interested
in the letter that OBJ wrote to GEJ and the issues raised there than
OBJ’s private family matters,” Fani-Kayode wrote on his Facebook page.
