ACF urges restraint over Obasanjo, Jonathan spat

The National Publicity Secretary of the forum Anthony Sani said in Kaduna that Nigerians must be careful in the way they interpret the letters.  
“I have read both former president Obasanjo’s letter and the reply by President Jonathan, and I wish to say that in as much as I would prefer that such exchanges between former and sitting presidents be confidential in view of their places in the order of things in Nigeria, I would say the genie is out of the bottle. In which case, the reply is in order in the spirit of fair hearing. What remains now is for Nigerians to be dispassionate in their discussion of the correspondences with a sense of decorum and patriotism with a view to passing informed and fair judgment in the larger interest of Nigeria. Perhaps, if the presidency  had gotten used to explaining issues of national importance raised by concerned citizens and public spirited organizations, such approach would go a long way towards promoting our democracy and good governance”, the ACF scribe said.
