It is very obvious that the Obasanjo family are very blessed in the art of writing letters (letter writing) and not just ordinary letters at that, but bombs of immense awesomeness akin to nuclear bombs, in the case of the one below written a few years back by a daughter to her father, whom she loves very dearly & deeply, but that has hurt her terribly & continually, this was an ICBM of awesome capacity and capabilities.
It, the open letter attempts to open the readers (public), who might have been gobsmarkingly by the antics of the other to the true antics of a well coached, very dexterous actor, here being her own blood dad.
It seeks to expose someone who suffers from a false messianic but truly Napoleonic tendency.
If a daughter can say this much about her own dad, then much should be desired from such a father.
Open Letter to Olusegun Obasanjo
By Iyabo Obasanjo, DVM, PhD
It brings me no joy to have to write this but since you started this trend of open letters I thought I would follow suit since you don’t listen to anyone anyway. The only way to reach you may be to make the public aware of some things. As a child well brought up by my long-suffering mother in Yoruba tradition, I have been reluctant to tell the truth about you but as it seems you still continue to delude yourself about the kind of person you are and I think for posterity’s sake it is time to set the records straight. I will return to the issue of my long-suffering mother later in this letter.
Like most Nigerians, I believe there are very enormous issues currently plaguing the country but I was surely surprised that you will be the one to publish such a treatise. I remember clearly as if it was yesterday the day I came over to Abuja from Abeokuta when I was Commissioner of Health in Ogun State, specifically to ask you not to continue to pursue the third term issue.
I had tried to bring it up when your sycophantic aides were present and they brushed my comments aside and as usual you listened to their self-serving counsel. For you to accuse someone else of what you so obviously practiced yourself tells of your narcissistic megalomaniac personality. Everyone around for even a few minutes knows that the only thing you respond to is praise and worship of you. People have learnt how to manipulate you by giving you what you crave. The only ones that can’t and will not stroke your ego are family members who you universally treat like shit (sic) apart from the few who have learned to manipulate you like others.
Much more after the break.
