Former President of Trade Union Congress, TUC, Mr. Peter Esele, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan not to brush aside the issues raised by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his letter to him, insisting that he should offer explanations to some of the issues raised in his own interest and that of the Presidency.

Esele, who fielded questions from journalists in Benin, yesterday, also said that most of the issues raised by Senator Iyabode Obasanjo in her missive to her father were things already in the public domain, saying the only surprise was that it was made public.

He said: “I think the President should explain certain things, he should look at the letter for the sake of the Presidency; not only for his own sake but should clear the air over certain things that were stated there.”
