OBJ vs GEJ: Obasanjo pays Jonathan a surprise visit in Kenya

President Goodluck Jonathan and former president, Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday had breakfast together in Nairobi, Kenya.

Both men were among other African leaders that graced the 50th Independence Anniversary celebration of Kenya on Thursday, December 12.

Obasanjo’s visit was said to have taken everybody by surprise as it contradicts the expected nature of the relationship between both men, owing to recent public criticisms of the President by Obasanjo.

The unexpected meeting held prior to the anniversary event which was held at the Safaricom Stadium in Kasarani, Nairobi with former president, Obasanjo paying a surprise visit to President Jonathan at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nairobi where they had a private breakfast together.

Obasanjo, who had the breakfast with President Jonathan had written a strongly worded letter, which went public earlier this week, accusing him of performing below par and taking actions calculated at destroying the country.

Obasanjo was said to have sat quietly during the event and was making calls on his mobile phone at intervals while the event lasted.
