The presidency says that it has no plans whatsoever to probe former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.

A statement issued by the presidency said president Goodluck Jonathan remains fully focused on the urgent tasks of assuring peace, security and stability across the country to create the right conditions for rapid socio-economic development and will not be distracted from this objective, by futile attempts to drive a wedge between him and other respected elders and leaders of his party.

The statement further says ” the president has nothing but the greatest respect for chief Obasanjo’s very notable contributions to national growth and development over many years , far from taking offence or seeking retaliation, will always welcome objective criticism and advice from the very highly-regarded elder statesman”.

The statement adds that president Jonathan regards his administration as a continuation of the unbroken chain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led governments which started by chief Obasanjo in 1999 and have worked tirelessly to entrench democratic governance and achieve rapid socio-economic growth in the country.
