Obasanjo Lambasts Jonathan Again …Says President is ‘Deaf’

Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo yeserday released yet another bombshell against his successor, Goodluck Jonathan, when he revealed that the latter lacked “receptive ears.”
Obasanjo who spoke at the presentation of a book: ‘My Watch’, which contains his memoirs, told the guests at the event that he decided to embark on public criticisms of President Jonathan because the president lacked listening ears.
“You will see a few letters I put in the book that were correspondence between me and the president and how I described my frustration of going privately to the president, taking up issues with him and getting no reaction.
“When I was president, I had my predecessors who would come to me, some with written notes and I would give answers and react and if I cannot give answers and react there immediately, I will say: ‘give me time, let me do something’ and I would react.
“That’s the way I believe it should be. He should be able to come, talk to me and I give you an answer. You would see in the book some of my reactions in the past.
“So if you have audience but you have no receptive ears, then you must have another way of communication. That’s what has happened.”
Obasanjo also castigated the judge who had granted an injunction against the presentation of the book saying in saner climes, such a judge should have been sanctioned for going against the ethics of his profession.
