The public spat between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan is far from over.
Yesterday, Jonathan asked the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, to probe the criminal allegations levelled against him by Obasanjo.
In a letter to the commission, President Jonathan is seeking for a thorough investigation of the allegations against him, touching on alleged human rights abuses.
The
letter, signed by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed
Adoke, SAN, on the directive of Jonathan, had already been submitted to
NHRC.
The letter dated December 23, 2013 was submitted yesterday.
Sources close to the Presidency said that similar letters had been written to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The two anti-graft agencies are to probe allegations of economic crimes and official corruption against the Jonathan’s administration as contained in Obasanjo’s letter.
Former President Obasanjo had written an 18-page open letter to Jonathan, accusing him of incompetence, engaging in anti-party activities, ethnicism and training about 1,000 snipers ahead of the 2015 polls.
Jonathan, who denied the allegations in his response, is specifically inviting the rights commission to unravel the truth in the allegation that his government had begun training over 1,000 snipers to terminate his political opponents.
