While delivering a keynote address at The Arewa House during the reign of Abacha, Obasanjo took the administration to the cleaners, describing it as a visionless regime. In the letter, Obasanjo wrote, “As you know, for the next few months, perhaps years, your government will be regarded as being in the penumbra of the Obasanjo regime given the situation that brought you into office. Initially, this was concealed from the public until Obasanjo went public in a letter to Jonathan on December 2, 2013. In the letter titled “Before It Is Too Late,” Obasanjo wrote that he chose to write a public letter to Jonathan because he had earlier written four private ones which were neither acknowledged nor responded to. Jonathan in the letter tried to counter every point raised by Obasanjo in his earlier letter but the deed was done.
