THE OBASANJO BREAKUP
Jonathan’s history in Aso Rock would be incomplete without reference to his estranged relationship with his benefactor and former president, Olusegun Obasanjo. In December 2013, after Obasanjo wrote a scorching open letter to the president, relations between the two leaders broke down. Obasanjo withdrew his support for Jonathan and left the PDP. His endorsement of Buhari’s presidential ambition is believed to have hastened Jonathan’s departure from the villa.
