2015: Nigeria still redeemable, Obasanjo insists as PDP govs storm his house to seek support for Jonathan

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has reiterated that the current economic and security situations in the country are still redeemable.

Obasanjo made this remark yesterday when about seven Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors yesterday stormed the Abeokuta, Ogun State, hilltop residence of the former president to persuade him to work for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan in next year’s presidential election.

He said that the country could still be salvaged if those involved had genuine concern for the wellbeing of the citizenry.

According to him, his current posture was not to witch-hunt anyone but to find a lasting solution to the nation's many challenges.

"Something can still be done and what are required now are the will and the courage to do something when and how it needs to be done.

Obasanjo Bombs Jonathan’s fallout: Presidency replies…Says Obasanjo is Indecent, Spineless Coward

*Warns APC To Be Ready To Pay Price Of Treason

Few days after President Goodluck Jonathan barred his aides and government officials from responding to President Olusegun Obasanjo’s sensational letter about the failures and compromises of his administration, the presidency on Sunday called the former leader greedy and indecent, challenging him to provide proof of his allegation that Jonathan is training snipers, or rather shut up and be remembered as a spineless coward.

In a press statement issued by spokesman Reuben Abati, the presidency came out swinging against the call of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the National Assembly to impeach Mr. Jonathan, and took Obasanjo on with reference to some of the most explosive elements in the letter.
