establish to engage in soul-searching and in reviewing
his past actions. In the letter, dated October 12, 2015,

Foundation as a platform through which he can heal his
conscience and demonstrate penitence over his past
actions.
Obasanjo’s letter dated October 12, 2015, Premium Times
reports read:
Dear President Goodluck Jonathan,
“I write to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
September 22, 2015. I take this opportunity to
congratulate you on your successful handover to the
current President of Nigeria, H.E. President Muhammadu
Buhari.
“I am happy to note that you had a good rest and time
with your family during the break. I hope you also had
time to reflect and see what lessons you have learned
and what you can bequeath to others.
“All of us who have had experience in our service to the
nation and to humanity must not put it under the bushel.
“I have to commend you and your Foundation, Goodluck
Jonathan Foundation, for the faith you continue to have
in Nigeria.
“Maybe seeking how to be better and more serviceable to
the nation and humanity is also a form of penitence and
soul-searching to give conscience a relief and to show
remorse.
“I wish you well as you continue to forge ahead with your
activities in the coming months and years. If there is any
area you feel I can be of help, you should not hesitate to
call on me.
Yours Sincerely,
Olusegun Obasanjo
