Mr. Obasanjo also alleges the president has put 1000 politicians on his watch list.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan is currently keeping over 1000 people on his political watch list while also secretly training snipers and other armed personnel as well as acquiring weapons for political purposes.
He stated in an 18-page letter to Mr. Jonathan, exclusively obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, that from what had been alleged, the snipers were being trained at the same place the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, trained his own killer squad.
The former president however warned that if the allegation was true, it would not augur well for him (Jonathan), the government and Nigerians.
“Allegation of keeping over 1000 people on political watch list rather than criminal or security watch list and training snipers and other armed personnel secretly and clandestinely acquiring weapons to match for political purposes like Abacha and training them where Abacha trained his own killers, if it is true, it cannot augur well for the initiator, the government and the people of Nigeria,” Mr. Obasanjo said in the letter dated December 2.
“Here again, there is the reason of history to learn from for anybody who cares to learn from history.”
Mr. Obasanjo said the president would always remember that he was elected to maintain security for all Nigerians and protect them, warning that no one should prepare to kill or maim them (Nigerians) for personal or political ambition or interest of anyone.
Quoting a Yoruba adage that says: “The man with whose head coconut is broken may not live to savour the taste of the succulent fruit,” Mr. Obasanjo said those who advised him (Jonathan) to go hard on those opposed to him were his worst enemies.
He added, “Democratic politics admits and is permissible of supporters and opponents. When the consequences come, those who have wrongly advised you will not be there to help carry the can. Egypt must teach some lesson.”
Apparently referring to the recent judicial freedom of Hamza Al-Mustapha, the late Chief Security Officer to Mr Abacha, the former president said the presidential assistance for a murderer to evade justice and for a presidential delegation to welcome him home could only be in bad taste generally, but particularly to the family of the victim.
He said, “Assisting criminals to evade justice cannot be part of the job of the presidency. Or, as it is viewed in some quarters, is he being recruited to do for you want he had done for Abacha in the past. Hopefully, he should have learned his lesson. Let us continue watch.”
Mr. Obasanjo did not however say if Mr. Al-Mustapha is training the snipers.
The former President recalled that in 2011, Mr. Jonathan told him he would serve for only one term, but that he (Obasanjo) later heard from other sources, including those close to the president that he had also made the same commitment somewhere.
Mr. Obasanjo said following those assurances, he threw his support behind Mr. Jonathan ahead of the 2011 presidential election.
He said that was his reason for including his support for Jonathan’s candidacy in his address at the grand finale of the President’s 2011 campaign at Eagle Square, Abuja.
“When you won the election, one of the issues you very early pursued was that of one term of six years,” Mr Obasanjo added.
“That convinced me that you meant what you told me before my speech at the campaign. Mr President, whatever may be your intention or plan, I cannot comment much on the constitutional aspect of your second term or what some people call third term. That is for both legal and judicial attention.
“But if constitutionally you are on a strong wicket if you so decide, it will be fatally morally flawed.”

DonColz1: Like this post if you think that Obasanjo is saying the truth

dude seriously

petrov 10: dude seriously

Al Mustapha is familiar with the killer squad Obasanjo referenced. They were trained in Special Forces Training School in Fort Benning, Columbus, GA.

Obasanjo is veteran professional soldier, fought in Congo, fought in Nigeria, ruled Nigeria at the apex level while in uniform and out of uniform. He has high level contacts in CIA and American establishment who still look out and give him heads up on developments. His allegations need to be taken very seriously.

Why was GEJ funding OPC with billion dollar contracts for pipeline security? It was a recruitment ploy. There are dirty assigments included in it. We first saw this in Fasheun's creation of UPN to dilute the Yoruba allegiance to ACN. Then followed up with Fasheun picking up Mustapha from prison and personally escorting him for delivery in Kano. Shortly afterwards of his release Mustapha then held a series of security tours in SS and SE in tow with Asari, Fasheun, Uwazuruike and Mohammed Abacha.

What kind of meeting is this? It is the meeting of a disgruntled elements in the pocket of GEJ to secure his power at all cost or destroy it all by all means.


I take the allegation made by Obasanjo that Gej is training forces for covert operations very seriously. No one should dismiss it!

Uwazuruike fought all these years for Biafra and to just swing overnight and start talking about Nigerian unity, something does not add up.

Who killed Bola Ige?

ubongutioh: Who killed Bola Ige?

Who did? Please enlighten us.

Age & treachery will always overcome youth and skill.

With all the threats he receives? Who can blame him

There are some elements of truth in what OBJ is saying.

OBJ go and sit down abegiiiiiii

ubongutioh: Who killed Bola Ige?

if I say O, you say B, another man say J, omo na Dem sabi *AfricanChina'sVoice*

The tune of this article suggest President Goodluck Jonathan may be planning Jerry Rawlings delicacy for Nigerian bigwigs.

May be, may be, Obasanjo is afraid he wouldn't survive it should his (OBJ) guess corresponds to mine.

Re-read the article slowly to see how apprehensive OBJ is, by the tune of his writing. The letter was not borne out of patriotism but of uncertainty.

Obasanjo should explain why none of the high profile assassination and murder during his tenure were unresolved. He should explain to nigerians why is he always crying out when ever any nigerian president doesn't do his bidding.


Goodluck Jonathan must really be a retard for not putting Obasanjo where he belongs

I pray there is truly judgements after death where evryone wil account for his/her deeds on earth.

THERE WAS A COUNTRY. That's all I can say

For your info, Yoruba's grouse against OBJ was that he was on Nigerian side and did not lean to favor Yoruba during his tenure. Do not mistake our grievance against him as a cast out from the family; he is still very much a respected Yoruba elder and Nigeria came close to a calamity after MKO; we will drop it if anyone harm Obj. Fire will burn the enemy, from the Atlantic stretching to the banks of Niger.

Re-read the article, it says hundred marked, not specifically concentrated on any ethnicity hence the comment you just quoted.

OBJ is the worst tribalist , a false patriot and the worst bigot that has ever ruled Nigeria.

A check on the privatisation of the Oil Industry down stream companies when he greedily doubled as the Minister of petroleum and the president of the country (the vociferous Activist like the hypocrite femi falana, wole soyinka all kept quiet)

National oil now conoil was sold to Adenuga at less than the price of the company and yet obasanjo looked the other way
Agip petroleum now Oando was sold to Wale Tinubu at highly discounted price and the whole watch dogs kept mute
Texaco now MRS was sold to Dangote another of OBJ men
African Petroleum now Fort Oil or FO was sold to another of his kins men in the person of Mike Otedola

4 National oil companies 3 were sold to yorubas and 1 to hausa/fulani in a country that is as divers as nigeria and no body said anything or criticised the president even when the sales were fraudulently done

NICON insurance was sold to Jimoh Ibrahim even when he didn't have the cash and the still allowed him to buy Nigeria Airways from Virgin Nigeria

At the End of the day the crude oil owned by Niger Deltans were sold to Yorubas and dangote by the worst tribalist and bigot ever in the history of Mankind

if this is not worse than Apartheid then what can be worse than apartheid and the same devil that wanted a thrid term has the effontery to accuse Jonathan of dividing the country and going for a second term

Oga texaco is not nigeria company.

Oga texaco is not nigeria company.

blkmum700: Oga texaco is not nigeria company.

Texaco down stream was bought over by Dangote's uncle Dantata
