Obasanjo refuses to see Jonathan, sneaks out of Ogun state

ABEOKUTA – The hostility between President
Goodluck Jonathan and former President Olusegun
Obasanjo worsened Monday as the former
President sneaked out from his palatial building in
Abeokuta, immediately Jonathan arrived the state
capital.
Obasanjo who was driven out in his black jeep and
one security hilux van, shunned his main entrance
and made use of his private gate through which he
sneaked out.
Vanguard correspondent who was at Obasanjo’s
house to cover the expected meeting between the
two country leaders observed that, some security
personnel who had been detailed at the former
President house suddenly disappeared.
Source close to Obasanjo’s Hilltop mansion in
Abeokuta had earlier confided in our correspondent
said that President Jonathan was not in the
Obasanjo itinerary for the day.
He also hinted that, Obasanjo jetted out around 2:
59p.m few minutes after the helicopter that flew
the President to the state touched the ground.
Operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) who
had earlier besieged the Obasanjo’s Hilltop
mansion as early as 6a.m in anticipation of
president Jonathan’s arrival also left the place at
exactly 3: 10p.m when it became obvious that
Jonathan was not coming to Obasanjo’s house.
Jonathan however, arrived the M.K.O stadium in
Abeokuta at exactly 3: 50p.m and headed straight
to the state box from where he later moved out to
acknowledge cheers from the crowd who had
thronged the stadium venue of the campaign as
early as 7: 30a.m.
