as former president, Olusegun
Obasanjo put him on the hot seat in
his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta on
Monday, Leadership exclusively

Redeemed Christian Church of God,
Pastor Enoch Adeboye and the founder
of Living Faith Church, Bishop David
Oyedepo, who were there as witnesses
to the meeting on request of the Egba
chief, asked him questions which he
had earlier thrown up in his
correspondence to Jonathan.
Questions from Obasanjo mother of all
meetings with Jonathan include the
five highlighted below.
The former president asked him to
confirm if he did not agree to only run
for one term, his slow action to
tackling the Boko Haram menace when
it was just budding despite warning,
why he gave licence to Tompolo and
Asari Dokubo to import arms under the
names of their private companies and
other issues.
He queried, “Tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, (1)
Did you agree to run for only one term
or not? (2) What did you tell me was
your reason for not going after Boko
Haram insurgents even when I told
you this will boomerang? (3) What
happened to Nigeria’s external reserve
and Sovereign Wealth Fund? (4) Did
you give licence to Niger Delta
militants (Dokubo and Tompolo) to
import arms in the name of their
privately owned companies? If so, for
what reason? (5) Did you not get
correspondence from the United States
consulate that a certain citizen named
Buruji Kashamu is indicted for drug
trafficking? Why did you appoint the
same Kashamu as South West leader
of PDP rather than hand him over to
the US? And did the PDP give
automatic Senate ticket to a wanted
and convicted drug baron?
