There’s no rift between Jonathan, Obasanjo —Oyinlola

The national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, over the weekend, dispelled speculations that there were political differences between President Goodluck  Jonathan and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Oyinlola, who said this while speaking with journalists at Okuku, his country home, during the formal launching of a foundation named after his father, Oba Moses Oyewole Oyinlola, noted that it was misleading to say that Obasanjo and Jonathan were fighting or having a form of disagreement, observing that, “some individuals want to use the controversy surrounding the Odi killings to set the two leaders of the PDP against each other.”
The former governor further stated that President Jonathan and Obasanjo were committed to the  growth and betterment of the nation as a whole, insisting there was no  friction between them.
 “There is no friction between the president and Chief Obasanjo. The issue of Odi killings will not cause hostility between the two leaders of our party. I think the media blew the issue out of proportion. President Jonathan and Chief Obasanjo are both working for the betterment of this great nation and for the good of the entire citizenry,” he said.  
When asked to comment on the political developments in his state, he  said, “I will not talk about Osun State now. I was the governor of the state for seven and a half years. Somebody is there now. Just compare and contrast. No matter what I say now, they will politicise it. So, let the people judge.”
On the legacy left behind by his late father which prompted the setting up of the foundation, Oyinlola said, “when I became a politician in 2001, I embarked on campaign trips across Osun State. I came back to my hometown to tell my siblings that our late illiterate father had done so much to the extent that anywhere I got to during my campaign, I was warmly embraced because of the good things that he did.”
