Urges him to use the Foundation to show remorse for past actions
In what was a response to the letter written him by his estranged
god-son, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, former President Olusegun
Obasanjo has advised him (Jonathan) to use the new Foundation he is set
to establish to engage in soul-searching and in reviewing his past
actions.
In the letter, dated October 12, 2015, Obasanjo also advised Jonathan
to consider the Foundation as a platform through which he can heal his
conscience and demonstrate penitence over his past actions.
Recall that ex-President Jonathan on September 22, wrote his
god-father, Obasanjo, informing him of his plans to set up a foundation
through which he would continue to service humanity.
Read Jonathan’s letter to Obasanjo here:
Obasanjo’s letter dated October 12, 2015, Premium Times reports read:
Dear President Goodluck Jonathan,
“I write to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of September 22,
2015. I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your successful
handover to the current President of Nigeria, H.E. President Muhammadu
Buhari.
“I am happy to note that you had a good rest and time with your
family during the break. I hope you also had time to reflect and see
what lessons you have learned and what you can bequeath to others.
“All of us who have had experience in our service to the nation and to humanity must not put it under the bushel.
“I have to commend you and your Foundation, Goodluck Jonathan Foundation, for the faith you continue to have in Nigeria.
“Maybe seeking how to be better and more serviceable to the nation
and humanity is also a form of penitence and soul-searching to give
conscience a relief and to show remorse.
“I wish you well as you continue to forge ahead with your activities
in the coming months and years. If there is any area you feel I can be
of help, you should not hesitate to call on me.
Yours Sincerely,
Olusegun Obasanjo
