Your Unpatriotic Letters May Land You In Prison Again, Yakassai Tells Obasanjo
Alhaji Tanko Yakasai a founding member of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has attacked former President Olusegun Obasanjo over a letter he wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The elder statesman said that Obasanjo is known with the attitude of writing “unpatriotic” letters to the past leaders of the country.
Yakasai said this in reaction to the letter Obasanjo wrote to Buhari on the insecurity in the country.
Obasanjo had written an open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on the prevalence of insecurity in the country, calling on him to take decisive action to prevent another ‘Rwanda-type genocide’ in the country.
Speaking to journalists in Kano on Monday, Yakasai said the content of the letter may cause unrest in the country.
He said all letters written by Obasanjo to past Nigerian leaders were never inspired by patriotism but selfish interests.
Yakasai said one of the letters Obasanjo wrote during the reign of late Sani Abacha, former military head of state, landed him in prison.
His words, “The actions of General Olusegun Obasanjo are, indeed, an open invitation for disaster for this country with the kind of hate speeches and messages that are flying all over the country,” Yakasai said.
