Bishop Slams Obasanjo Over Constant Criticism Of Jonathan

The Anglican Bishop of Okigwe, Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward Osuegbu, has
described as shocking, the continuous attack on President Goodluck
Jonathan by Former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

He accused Obasanjo of having done "similar or worse things while in office".

"Some of us who have been watching for many years now, know that it is
the kettle calling the pot black. Obasanjo did similar things he is
accusing the incumbent of and even worse", Osuegbu told Vanguard.

According to him, Obasanjo is now taking pleasure in criticizing and
calling Jonathan names. "That is most unfair," the cleric said.

Osuegbu noted that such criticisms had never come from any past
President of the United States of America, saying real statesmen only
advise the incumbents and nobody hears about it.

"They do not make noise if their advice is not taken by the incumbent.
It is also noteworthy that no former President of the USA has ever
castigated President Barrack Obama. This does not mean that Obama is
infallible," the Bishop said.

While past presidents of America respected the office of the President
of USA as if their lives depended on it, "in our own case, a former
president is at the fore front of criticizing, castigating and
attacking an incumbent President with a view to destroying the
system," the Anglican cleric lamented.
