LETTER : Before It Is Too Late By Dotun Oloko

January 7, 2014

We have had cause to exchange correspondence on a matter related to our beloved country. On that occasion it was because of your international reputation and position as Finance Minister. I am now writing this open letter to you because of a related matter concerning our dear country. As you are undoubtedly aware former President Olusegun Obasanjo has levelled some grievous allegations against our current President Goodluck Jonathan.

We have had cause to exchange correspondence on a matter related to our beloved country. On that occasion it was because of your international reputation and position as Finance Minister. I am now writing this open letter to you because of a related matter concerning our dear country. As you are undoubtedly aware former President Olusegun Obasanjo has levelled some grievous allegations against our current President Goodluck Jonathan.

You have answered the call of duty and served under President Obasanjo. You answered the call of duty again and are currently serving as the Finance Minister to President Jonathan. It was because of your current position that I wrote to you in conjunction with some international non-governmental organisations on the matter of the sale of the OPL 245 oil concession. You subsequently forwarded our letter to the Attorney-General and it is a matter of record that in responding to our letter, the Attorney-General on 20th May 2013 falsely stated that, “the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria had instituted a probe into the transaction and at the end, they were satisfied that there was no infraction of the Constitution or any other Nigerian law”.

In the course of our exchange of correspondence you expressed some views and opinions which I believe you should now make public in the wake of the dispute between Obasanjo and Jonathan. I must therefore call on you to do your duty to God and our country and act on those views and opinions, before it is too late.

Yours sincerely
