Obasanjo’s attack on Jonathan most unfair – Anglican Bishop

The Anglican Bishop of Okigwe, Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward
Osuegbu, has described the continuous attack on the
office and person of President Goodluck Jonathan by
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as “shocking, most unfair and
uncharitable, especially as it is coming from a former
occupier of the office”.
Bishop Osuegbu, who made his feelings known in a chat
with Vanguard, also accused Obasanjo of having done
“similar or worse things while in office.”
“Some of us who have been watching for many years now,
know that it is the kettle calling the pot black. Obasanjo
did similar things he is accusing the incumbent of and
even worse”, Osuebu said.
According to the fiery Anglican cleric, Obasanjo is now
taking pleasure in criticizing and calling President
Jonathan all sorts of names because he wants to drag the
President down.“Possibly, Chief Obasanjo wants to drag the President
down or wants him to go on his knees and coming to the
retired army general to beg for support. That is most
unfair”, Bishop Osuegbu said.
While saying that such scathing criticisms have never
come from any past President of United States of
America, USA, the cleric however said that real
statesmen only advice the incumbents and nobody gets to
hear about it.
“They do not make noise if their advice is not taken by
the incumbent. It is also noteworthy that no former
President of the USA has ever castigated President
Barrack Obama. This does not mean that Obama is
infallible”, Osuegbu said.
It was the considered opinion of the Anglican cleric that
past presidents of America respect the office of the
President of USA as if their lives depends on it, stressing
that that was one way of respecting their nation.
