A few days after many people shared their views about the letter of condolence Chief Olusegun Obasanjo issued about late Senator Buruji Kashamu, the former President has reacted to criticism trailing the letter.
Earlier, in the letter of condolence, Obasanjo stated that Kasahamu was able to manoeuvre Justice but could not evade death.
His opinion about the late Senator generated divergent views particularly on Twitter and other social media platforms including a tweet by the former Governor of Ekiti, Ayodele Fayose who tweeted that Nigerians should be on the lookout for the end of the former President.
Obasanjo, in an interview with Premium Times, reacted to the controversies the letter generated noting that he only pointed out the lessons about the life and history of the dead.
He further explained that when he was younger, there was no eulogy or praise-singing when anyone known with bad character died in his community adding that they only mourn and bury such a person.
The ex-President reiterated that he was not gloating over the death of Kashamu adding that there will be bad and good lessons about anyone who passed
However, he stated that it is wrong to cover up bad histories and conducts so that the right lessons can be learnt.
Meanwhile, he said people are free to say whatever they know or think about him after his transition stating that he is more concerned about what his creator says about him.
