Jonathan phones Obasanjo, Babangida to cease fire

President Goodluck Jonathan has intervened in the public feud between two of his predecessors, Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida, asking them to bury the hatchet. Obasanjo and Babangida, had last week exchange words, calling each other fools.

On Sunday, a source in the Presidency said that Jonathan, who was “embarrassed” by the conduct of the two former heads of state, made separate telephone calls to Obasanjo and Babangida, who are also chieftains of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, on Saturday. - Punch www.mannastores.com
