Former President Obasanjo, OBJ, is a general. Like a good general he is trying
to defend a city under siege by launching a diversionary attack elsewhere, to
draw the besieging troops off to defend the target of his diversionary attack
and give himself respite to defend his city. That’s a military strategy that’s
been in use for thousands of years.
*Presdent Jonathan
I think
that’s the strategic objective of his 18 page letter to President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan, GEJ.
OBJ
is a diehard defender of the Nigerian status quo, of which he has been a major
lifelong beneficiary. This National Dialogue/Conference debate is directing
serious attack on the 1999 Constitution and the status quo that is based on it.
Presumably, being doubtful that the system can withstand this siege, OBJ has
launched this diversionary attack on corruption, which he believes will capture
the attention of the, supposedly, gullible Nigerian public and divert them from
the issue of the SNC and a new People’s Constitution. We must resist the
temptation to follow him and change the conversation to corruption from the
issue of the SNC and a new Constitution.
